Legal Texans

As planned, we entered Texas today for the first time since last February 11, when we crossed into New Mexico. Our safety inspection stickers had expired during that time, and we arranged to go to a place in Texarkana we found on the Internet, called Dick's Texas Big. We chose it because they could inspect both the truck and Venture. We had some trepidation when we arrived to find the business looking rather seedy. It turned out that one old retired gent spends his time there doing inspections and working on classic cars. We were his only customers, and he thanked us profusely several times for coming to him.

Once we had our new stickers, we headed down to Nacogdoches, stopping at a roadside rest area along the way to eat lunch at a picnic table in the sun. It was cool but pleasant, and several butterflies were flitting about among the flowers.



We are staying overnight at the Walmart parking lot in Nacogdoches. This is our second stay in a Walmart parking lot since we've been on the road. We haven't been able to find anywhere else decent to stay nearby. Of course if you're a Foretravel owner, or contemplating becoming one, you can stay at the Foretravel plant in Nac.
