I have a lot of catching up on past vacation days. So lets get started.
My last blog update was from the Casita Rally held Bandera Texas
I have posted pictures with descriptive captions here
After the the Bluebonnet rally we moved to Canyon Lake Corp of Engineer campground called Potters Creek. It is a campground where can use our Golden Age pass, therefore $8.00 per night was a good deal. It was a convenient stopping point on our way to Houston where our friend Jack Reed was going for his annual eye checkup on the 4th of May. We used Potters Creek for a base camp for visits to several towns around the area. We stayed here until Friday the 30th.
We had reservations at Stephen F Austin state park on Sunday the 2nd of May.
After leaving Stephen F Austin we headed to the Dallas area to visit Keith and Beverly Sims in Grandview and then to Jay's house in Dallas. We had a great time with Keith and Beverly.

Next we decided to beat the heat and head to Red River NM. We stayed at our favorite campground, Columbine. We had good weather and a very nice site within 10' of the river. Brad and Bev joined us on the 19th, spent the night and left Sunday evening. Jean and Tony Boeckman from Medford OK came by on their way to Santa Fe and camped across the road. They followed us to Brad and Bev's house in Santa fe. We had a delightful 3 days visit with them all. We left for Lubbock on Monday the 28th.
Now fast forward to July 30th 2010
We packed up the trailer and head out for the north east and south east Canada. Our first night is a 450 mile trip to Hugo Lake COE in southeastern Oklahoma. We are headed to Queen Wilhelmina State Park near Mina Arkansas. We were camped in QWSP on monday when we noticed some friends that we know from near Livingston, TX walking up to our camper. They saw our rig and came by to say hello. Just a by chance meeting. They were in route to Bennett Springs State Park in Missouri to attend a gospel music event called Brummley Sings in Lebanon. We left Lubbock in triple digit temperature and all the way through Arkansas we drove in record breaking temps.
I think I will end this update and start the next on August 1st... More to follow
