We got up this morning excited to be opening a new chapter in our RV adventures, but first we realized we had forgotten to take a photo of our site at 5 Star RV Resort in Tyler, so here it is:
As you can see, we had already started getting Venture ready for today's trip. We decided to take our morning walk around another part of the "trail" shown on the park map. As we started out, the owner stopped by on his golf cart to give us some advice. He said that he had some arrows ready to put up to direct people along the trail, but they aren't up yet. We did manage to have a nice walk in the woods. It was cool, so for the first time in many weeks, we wore our jackets on the walk.
We left for Rainbow's End around 9:40 a.m. for the 150 mile trip. We made a couple of stops to change drivers and to check out a produce stand. We were disappointed that our Verizon cell and data service were very spotty along the way. At one point I realized I had a voicemail, but I had to wait for a while to retrieve it, since we had no cell service. When I got the message, it was from Dan Duryea, the volunteer coordinator at CARE. He was calling to let us know that a space was already available for us in the CARE volunteer area, since they only had two teams of volunteers in September.
That made it easier for us. We had expected to stay in one of the regular campsites until our volunteer month started on Friday. There are seven volunteer sites, all in a row behind the CARE Center, and we chose one in the middle, site #39.

We have a volunteer meeting tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. at which we'll learn lots more, we're sure. Meanwhile we walked around and met lots of nice people. One was a resident in a wheelchair who told us (cheerfully) that he was in a bad mood!
Tonight we played two more rounds of Rummikub to go with the one we had played earlier. The outcome was that Ken won two of the three rounds, but we were tied for points.
