We are ahead of schedule so we plan to stay in Texas longer. We are now in the Tyler State Park in Tyler, Texas and will be staying 5 nights (3/16 -3/20). This is another wonderful place with lots to see. The weekend is going to be busy as Spring Break is happening. We have been reserving state parks by using the Texas reservation system. It has worked well and found it to be user friendly. A couple of things about the Texas parks: even though you are camping they still charge you a daily entrance fee (anywhere from 3 to 5 dollars per person/day) on top of the camping fee. These can add up if you stay in several parks in Texas, so the thing to do is buy the Texas State Park Pass for $60, good for 1 year which waves the entrance fees and gets you 50% off one night of camping. So if you stay in several different parks you will more than save the cost. The wife and I took a nice hike in the woods and saw several mountain bikes, boy does that take some strength!! The trip is going great and we are getting used to hooking and unhooking the camper. The Wildcat has been doing very well on the first leg of the trip. We did unhook and connected everything and then found a pole was in the way of opening our slides. We won’t do that againJ May try some of the famous Bodacious BBQ this weekend.
