Lone Star State

It's done, we are West of the Mississippi!

After 348 miles we arrived in Kemah, Texas. You might be wondering "Where the hell is Kemah?". Good question because it isn't a big city. We are east of Houston and northwest of Galveston. It sits right on Galveston Bay and is centrally located to hit many other cities nearby. Another reason that we are here is because Reta's Mom and relatives live here. After a couple of days in this campground to recharge the batteries, fill the water tanks and empty the black and gray tanks, we are looking at boon docking in her uncle's back yard. We need to scope it out first and see if we will fit and most importantly, not get stuck trying to get out.

The drive down was 6 hours but it went by pretty quick. It's nice to switch off drivers every 2 hours. Nothing like taking a nap on that comfortable lazy boy with a great view. I keep myself entertained with the chatter on the CB. The truckers are really a bread of their own. The toughest part is trying to understand some of these guys. Heavy accents and add a lip full of chewing tobacco and good luck understanding them.

On our drive in Louisiana we passed a city called Elton. The strangest part was that only a few miles away there is another city called Eunice. That's my mothers name. Were my parents down here before I was born? Too weird.

Well, time to get ready. Family Reunion!
