Abilene, My Abilene…
It seems like every Texas town has a song written about it, so here’s another –
Abilene, Abilene by Waylon Jennings
We left Amarillo a little before 9 heading for Abilene about 290 miles away. Not much to say about the trip. The roads, a mix of Interstates 27 and 20 and US 84, were good, and the trip was uneventful.
We pulled into the KOA here in Abilene about 2:15 pm and got set up.
Then later, after dropping off a stack of Gypsy Journals at the office, we headed out to find a nail salon so Jan could get a pedicure.
Luckily we found one near the local Cracker Barrel where, being that it’s Thursday and Turkey & Dressing Day, Jan wanted to eat dinner after the nail place, so that worked out great.
After the pedicure and dinner, we got back to the park about 5:30 pm and were in for the night.
Tomorrow we head south to Burnet TX about 190 miles away for a week for Brandi’s wedding on Monday, the 21st.
Then we’ll head a little further south to Canyon Lake, TX near New Braunfels until the 5th of July.
More tomorrow…
