TEXAS - heading east

We're headed east and it will take 3 days to get to our next stopover, 90 miles east of Dallas, where Tony wants to look at some RV lots near Lake Fork. Today was a long drive, and the area was studded with cattle ranches, oil well drilling rigs and not much else.  














My Coach Butler had plenty of time to ........well, you know:
Notice the open mouth  :-0


















We pulled into our campground, and had to search to find a site with running water.  Finally, we decided on a spot, but the overhanging tree branches were about to scrape the motorhome, so Tony had to get out the ladder, and assemble his trusty little saw, and cut down the branches.  It was about 80 degrees in the sun, and he was NOT a happy camper, but.........alas!  Success:






































I must say, he has everything he needs in the rig. After this exercise, he needed a shower and a bourbon!
We found a very nice resort - Holiday Village of Lake Fork (hvfork.com), which offers building lots, condos, and an RV Park, with amenities of a pool, fishing ponds, clubhouse and a huge lake with what is called the best bass fishing in Texas - we saw photos large mouth bass of over 18 lbs!!!  (Are you getting this, Dick ?)  Tony settled on a great property, facing east, and in a nice quiet area with very friendly neighbors, who just happen to have a motorhome similar to ours.  Here he is with the paperwork officially making him a Texas landowner:
No more "TZ"....now it's "Texas Tony"















The following photo is of our new neighbors, and after we have the cement pad poured, the plan is to put up a "car port" like this:














Our next stop will be in Little Rock, Arkansas, on the way to Alabama.
