On the Move

On Wednesday the weather turned cold throughout the region and our spot at Port Aransas was no exception! Previously our lows at night were 60-65 degrees with high in the 80's. On our last day, the high was a chilly 50 degrees with a not so balmy sea breeze! It made our move not so pleasant.

We stopped by the local car wash and sprayed the motorhome to rinse off any possible accumulated salt. Poor Jim stood on the roof to spray it off and had a hard time standing straight in the wind! Brrrrr. Anyway, we got it all rinsed off which was important. We were on our way north. As we were driving through Corpus Christi, a truck hauling a load of poorly covered asphalt passed us and sprayed our entire front end with a fine spray of oily rock. Ugh!! So much for our fine cleaning job.

We are now camped at Summit Vacation Resort, just north of San Antonio. In the 3+ weeks since we left this area, spring has sprung. All the trees are sporting new green leaves and the roadside wildflowers are starting to bloom. The nights are still downright chilly but the days are very sunny and warm. It is supposed in the high 70's today.

Yesterday we drove into the Costco in San Antonio to get a Jeep tire replaced (it had road damage) and stocked up on a few groceries. We also made arrangements to have some modifications done to the motorhome engine in a few weeks. The modification is supposed to increase our gas mileage and with the price of fuel, every little bit helps.

Today we are hanging out at home. Scrubbed all the oily stuff off the front of the motorhome--boy if we could catch up with that truck driver we would have made him clean it! Getting some laundry done and relaxing is the goal for the day. Sounds tough,eh?
