Oak Forest RV Park

Yesterday we pulled out of Lake Corpus Christi State Park  for what we thought was going to be a short trip to our next stop. Boy where we wrong, 6 1/2  hours later we stopped into Oak Forest RV Park. The day started out  with our puppy  getting sick all over me in the truck. It went down hill after that . We where getting ready to pull in for something to eat when we blow a tire on the  camper.

To make a long story short we called road side service  to find someone to change a tire. In the mean time a nice guy stopped  to see if we needed any help. So him and I got to work changing the tire that turned out to be not that hard.  I did learn that I need some better blocks in case this happens again.

Now we are just relaxing and enjoying the day the weather has turn out great 73 and sunny. First time we have seen any sun in about a week. Pulling out tomorrow for what we hope.will be a short 2 hour trip to Fort Parket State Park  where we will be camp hosting for the next two months .

Final Days at Lake Corpus Christi State Park

In about 8 short days our time here at Lake Corpus State Park, Texas will be coming to a end. We have had a great time and meet and made some new friends. That is one of the best parts of traveling and camping full time. The weather has not been as nice as it was last year, but still better than most parts of the country. It is Christmas Eve and we have the AC running so life is good. We will start packing things a little at a time so that we do not have to do it all at once. When we leave here we will be headed to Fort Parker State Parks for a two month stay, looking forward to staying at a place we have never been before. Texas is a big state and we still have not seen all of it, maybe next year. Not sure as of yet what we will be doing once we get to Fort Parker only that we will be camp host. Going to keep this short. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Winter in Texas

I have been a little lazy postings updates lately. Everything is going great here and we are having a good time and meeting new friends. Gwen has the Christmas tree and declarations up inside and lights outside on the RV and trees. So I guess we are as ready for Christmas as we are going to be. We are looking forward to the up coming Christmas Dinner that the park is putting on, should be a good time. Then there will be a pot luck dinner the  volunteers are having along with a cookie swap. Guess I am not going to loose any weight this month.  It is hard to believe that we have been here for over a months already. Time goes fast when you are having fun. It will not be long and we will be getting ready for our next move to Fort Parker State Park. Hope the weather does not get to cold there, it is north of where we are at now. The weather here has been all over the place here the last few days. There was a cold front that moved through and we had rain and cool weather for a few days and then the sun was back out yesterday and back in the 70’s . Now today it is cool and damp out. But at lease we don’t have snow.

We met a really nice couple camping behind. Now Gwen has a new shopping friend.  Talking with them they where telling us the when setting up they noticed that the wheels on the camper on one side seems to be too close together. Stated that after they had looked under the RV that had the springs on one side had broken and failed completely and the springs on the same axle on the other side where broken in a couple different places. Do not know how they ever made it to the campground. They are not sure how long it had been like that are how long they had driven with it that way. They checked with a few of the local RV dealers and it would be two weeks before they could do any thing . So we decided that we would fix it at the campground. It was not as hard as I though it might be and after getting all the tools needed we had both springs replaced . Lesson learned always crawl under the RV and inspect every thing before heading out on a camping trip and carry a good bottle jack, Nice to have for flat tires or to make repairs.

Sorry we do not have any pictures to post. We have been just hanging around the campground visiting with the other camper and not doing any road trips lately. The campground has been full most of the time and we just like meeting the other camper and getting together and finding where they have been in their travels and where they are from. I have also taken time to make a few more ink pens ( my new hobby ) on the days it is nice and sunny. So for now we are just hanging out here in the South of Texas and thinking about all you guys up North shoveling snow!
