Waco…finally
First, a little Waco musical interlude…
Cross the Brazos at Waco
Well, Gina couldn’t think of anything else for me to fix, so we finally got out of Canyon Lake about 10:15 am, but it took some doing
First we had to stop at the park office to pay our electric bill. This Passport America is $12 a day plus electric, so at $52.40 for 13 days, that’s about $4 a day. Not bad with the 95 degree days we’ve been having.
Next, right after leaving the park, we stopped at the Exxon station and got diesel. I glad we stayed a couple of extra days because in that time diesel dropped from $2.85 to $2.75. Hey, ten cents a gallon for 122 gallons adds up.
By the time we got finished it was a little after 11 am so since we had to drive right by it, we decided to have lunch at Milagro’s, a really good Mexican restaurant in the area.
After we finished lunch, I used their large parking lot to hook up the toad, and finally about noon we were on our way.
It was about 12 miles into San Marcos where we got on I-35N heading to the KOA in West, TX, about 20 miles north of Waco.
We pulled into the North Waco KOA about 3:30 pm and were led to our site.
Whoops! Someone was already in our site. And the one they wanted to put us in was not a pull-thru like we had paid for.
Finally they got things straighten out and led us to this nice site on top of a hill.
Tomorrow we’ll head north and east to somewhere around Shreveport, LA.
More tomorrow…
