Georgetown, Texas Sounds Mighty Good

Today was moving day and what a day we had! We were a little late getting out of the Medina Lake Thousand Trails park because the rain decided to dump and we were hoping we would get a break to take care of the outside chores. It never stopped, so we just got soaked and headed north.

The freeways around San Antonio were a nightmare. It's been so long since this part of Texas has had rain, they all forgot how to drive in it. The roads were slick with oil and rain, while the puddles became mini lakes. Nobody was doing the speed limit and it was very difficult to see.

We finally left San Antonio and after a diesel fill, we arrived in Austin. Our new Nuvi directed us off the freeway because of traffic problems in downtown Austin. After several miles of the loop highway, we discovered it's a toll road. Swell! Not having any idea of how much the tolls are here, we scrambled for some cash and twenty miles later, it turned out to be only $2.25. Phew! Soon we merged back onto I-35 and the rain kept pouring.

Finally, just north of Austin, I remembered reading about a rv park just off the freeway that was a Passport America park. (half price) It didn't take much convincing for Doug to cut the day short and pull off the road.


It's called Berry Springs RV Park and is very nice, if not fancy. Our site is a long pull-thru with full hookups for only $12.50 a night. What a bargain. There's grass and trees and best of all......the rain stopped. Our nerves were shot after the drive, so it feels good to be able to just stop when the weather and traffic gets the best of us.



Tomorrow, it's on to Tyler, Texas.
