Interim Post

I have been remiss in posting to this blog...however, part of the blame lies with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Most Texas State Parks state that they have WiFi. And most do. It's just not usable. I'm not talking about streaming Netflix movies, I'm talking about trying to read your email, or check in with Facebook. So, until I get to a place where I can upload photos, and make coherent blog entries (not likely, huh?), which should be around the end of first week in May, I won't be blogging here...

Oh...! For those who have been following, and/or who know me, you know that my plan was always to spend the summer in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Washington Coast. Well, my week on the beach between Corpus Christi and Port Aransas, where it rained every day, and drizzled and densely fogged... convinced me to find another cool place to spend the summer. So later in May, I will be going to Cloudcroft,  NM (elevation almost 9000 feet). Should be cool...and dry!

My reason for summering in New Mexico, rather than Washington...

Meandering south....

I have not posted in the last few weeks, mostly because I have not had much to post. I have been camping at the City of Lewisville/Lake Lewisville campground for about the past month. This has been a regrouping and reconnecting time for me. I met and dined (or lunched) with old friends, and I spent some time working on Tiny Trailer. I covered the vent with a vent cover, put vinyl flooring in the sleeping area, added an air conditioner, and began insulating the roof.

I'm currently making my way down thru mid-central Texas, stopping at state parks along the way. I left Lewisville on Sunday, April 12, and have stayed at Mineral Wells Lake State Park, Dinosaur Valley State Park, Meridan State Park, and am Currently staying at Blanco State Park. I plan to stay at a couple more state parks as I make my way to the Gulf Coast, where I will stay on Mustang Island for about a week. 
Pictures to follow:

Also, I was interviewed for a podcast by Men Seeking Tomahawks, Jack and Dan are former professional wrestlers, who have a weekly podcast the includes music and topics of interest on a wide variety of subjects. Look at menseekingtomahawks.com, number 38.
