Woke up bright and early, had a good breakfast, then did our final packing, finally pulling out around 11:30. Though the trip was supposed to be just over 2 hours, it was after 3:00 by the time we arrived, having to negotiate around some work zones, and stopping at H.E.B. For lunch and a few last minute items. We checked in at the ranger station, where we learned there was a planned club ride this weekend, and though we were invited to join, we declined (we're not exactly the "clubby" type. Then we filled our water tank with the non-potable spigot (well, actually, it's well water, but thanks to the latest regulations, anything not "treated" is considered non-potable, no matter how pure or safe it might be), and were soon heading down to camp. We had picked the spot at the far end of the loop, which turned out to be perfect, with two parking areas so the RV and the horse trailer didn't need to be right next to each other. The site had two 10X10 corrals, so the horses were home in short order. We opened up everything, got the generator going, and promptly set out to get the satellite dish up. That turned out to be a long project for some reason. While it seemed he had a clear shot, Hubby just couldn't seem to line it up right, and he was still messing with it at 5:30. He finally got a good enough signal on both satellites to satisfy him, but by that time he was exhausted again, and his back was aching from all the activity both yesterday and today. We finally settled in for the evening, with him putting ice packs on his back and taking acetaminophen for the pain, before heading to bed.
