Back in Texas

We left Oklahoma this morning, after a brief detour to the Bargain Lady II in Ardmore. I bought a pair of really nice jeans and some capris there Saturday, only to find when we got home that they still had the anti-theft devices attached. Darn!

The trip today was straightforward: straight down I-35. We stopped at the Texas welcome center just inside the border to have lunch and pick up a new Texas map.


As usual, we're staying at Lake Park in Lewisville. Surprisingly, the park is full and we were lucky to get a spot: someone had just cancelled before we called. I wondered what was going on that the park was full this time of year. No mystery: the government shutdown shut down Hickory Creek Park Campground (Army Corps of Engineers park on Lewisville Lake), and all campers were asked to leave on October 1. Many of them moved to Lake Park.


We had to be very careful backing into our site because of the trees, and our satellite dish didn't much like the trees either. However, we found 94 over the air stations using our antenna. Site #78 is not our favorite site, but we're very glad to have it!
