Lewisville to Georgetown

Today was our first long travel day in a long time. Well, long for us. Our trip was about 200 miles and took us five hours, with stops. We got a pull-through site at Berry Springs RV Park, where we've stayed before.

This time we unhitched and set out to get diesel and bread and to visit one of the campgrounds on Georgetown Lake. Vern and Mary told us how much they had enjoyed their stay at the lake, and we think we might want to stay there next spring.

When we got to Cedar Breaks Park, we were told that the campground is closed while the Corps upgrades all the sites from 30 amp to 50 amp electricity. It was late afternoon, so we got our diesel and groceries at HEB. It was easy to tell the store was in the Austin area--lots of organic foods were available.

I got some really good wheat whole grain bread. We had that with yellow squash and onions and dijon baked salmon. The salmon was wild caught sockeye and delicious.

We got an update on our friend Pat Boyink's breast cancer surgery. She was diagnosed with stage one cancer, which is supposed to be very treatable. They're waiting to talk to the surgeon about what kind of treatment will be needed--radiation, chemo, or both. We are hoping for a good recovery.
