Then we had to turn onto a gravel road and go approximately 6 miles to the turn.  See below.

After turnng onto Hutt Rd it is another 3 miles.  Below is her house from a distance.

This is the beautiful sunset from her back porch.  One of the larger stock tanks is in the picture.

We arrived at Gillette, WY along with 2600+ other coaches.  See below.  As you can see we were crammed in like sardines.  We had full service with all hookups.  Not everyone did.

This was the last evening there and the rain storm as it was blowing in.

We attended lots of seminars and learned a lot about our coach and maintaining for it.  We drove back in 2 1/2 days.  Great trip.

Lake Whitney, TX

This Memorial Day weekend, we are meeting Dusty’s brother & family at Lake Whitney State Park, TX.  We are in a section of the park with 30+ drive thru sites all with full hook-up and your choice of 30amp or 50amp.  We arrived 3:30pm on Friday and were the first in this area.

Dusty’s brother and family arrived about 2 hrs later.

These are the 5 kids they had at the time.  They now have 2 more.  Dusty’s brother  and his wife are very gifted at loving and nurturing children.  They are a blessing to all these children.

Above are pictures of the flowers and wild life we saw on some of our hikes.

We drove around to the other side of the lake across the dam.  Here are views from there.  We cannot even see our campground.

We had a fun weekend spending time with the family.

Tres Rios RV Park, Glen Rose TX

We were invited to spend a weekend here free IF we agreed to listen to a sales pitch.  Tres Rios is a pretty place.

Gravel roads and grass parking spots.  Most are fairly level.  You can barely see our MC behind the brown pickup truck.

Squaw Creek was flowing well.  You could see good sized fish in the still water.

We agreed to listen to the sales pitch with the idea that we knew how to say no.  Well they convinced us it was a great deal. 

Here is happy Dusty.  We enjoyed our stay!

Lake Athens Marina RV Park

We are parked at our first outing in the “mobile condo”.  We arrived about noon on Friday. Lake Athens Marina RV park was very open.  All spaces were pull-thrus with full hook-ups.  www.lakeathensmarina.com/‎   We are in Athens, TX visiting Tic’s sister & her husband. 

The next day the four of us went to NY Zipline in NY, TX near Athens, TX. www.goziptexas.com/  Check it out.  Great prices too.   We all had a blast!

The zip-line owners live and have the office here.

Here are the 4 of us ready to start our adventure.

Here is the first tower we are heading towards.
