Taking roads we haven’t traveled before.  Racking up new counties as we go:

 

Start of trip.

 

Today.

 

Whittling down the list of counties still to see in Texas.  We’ll have picked off 18 new ones after we get those last two at the top tomorrow.

 

Daytrip!

 

To Fischer, TX.

To see Carolyn and Richie.

 

 

Some of us remember Carolyn from Island Woman in Port Aransas.

 

…and their new house.  Love the windows.

 

…and the view out back.

 

 

Then back to the current home base, Texas Custom Coach Resort and Spa!

 

 

The refrigerator laid on it’s face on the floor all day getting its backside fixed.  It’s back in place now, but we’ll need to let it normalize overnight before we turn it back on again.

 

On the road again

 

This is it.  We’re on the big trip of the year.  Drove from home to Texas Custom Coach in Pipe Creek to see our friends there.  We’ve just passed our 16th anniversary in this coach and the refrigerator has aged-out.  We’re going to get the cooling unit replaced so our fridge will be able to keep up with the hot weather on this trip.  They always take great care of us here.

Parked for the night in their yard so we’ll be right here ready for them when they’re ready for us tomorrow morning.  50 amp service.  The Texas Custom Coach RV Resort!

 

From here to Oregon, then Edmonds, WA in August, Erie, CO in September, Phoenix, AZ in October, and back home in November.  We’re 266 miles into the trip.  Only 5,920 miles to go.

 

Another bug

 

 

There on the side of the back porch steps.

 

A walking stick!

 

Walking Sticks are nocturnal herbivores.  They walk around and eat plants.  Their camouflage is to remain motionless and look like a twig.  Only one in a thousand walking sticks is a male, so good chance this one pictured is a female.  Inexplicably, she was out of her element, in the middle of the day, on a surface she didn’t blend with.  Lucky us for the photo op.
