Back to Texas -- Final Chapter

We left Shreveport dodging rain drops around 10a on Sunday with a short trip in mind.

About 45 minutes closer to New Caney, TX, I was feeling so good I wanted to go further.  Made a couple of phone calls, drove straight through Houston and ended up in Rockport, TX for the night.

Next morning, we ran over to Aransas Pass to check on the buggy.  It was fine!

It was a heartbreaking drive to and from.   Thought I was ready to see the destruction of Hurricane Harvey, but once you see it in living color, it's so different.

We had seen videos that people had posted on YouTube, but to smell it, touch it, see it live....it was just different.

I don't want to dwell on it, but it will keep coming up.  It's been two months since the Hurricane came ashore here in the Coastal Bend. Every day is another benchmark for someone, somewhere on their timeline to recovery.  It's heartbreaking.

Later Monday morning, we gathered up our things and headed on the Ferry to Port A.

Sloopy and Tangy out each window.  Can you tell the difference?

Got parked in the site at Pioneer RV Resort and began the process of making it our home till the Spring.

Happy Girls!

Back from our cruise and updating our migration to Texas post Harvey

We went cruising just as Hurricane Harvey was making landfall in Texas right at our winter home.  It was a real roller coaster, and quite honestly, dampened a bit of our enthusiasm and focus on our cruise.

We still had a great time.  I'll be blogging about it for the business soon at this link.  Connie wore out a few times, but overall her latest treatment with the epidural and Gabupentin have really helped with her pain.

Finished today readjusting our plans for going back to Texas.  Going to push things back about 3 weeks, take a slightly adjusted route (skipping Paducah, KY and Santa Claus, IN) and rolling down to Nashville.  After Nashville, we'll head over to West Memphis and resume our original route.

We'll leave now October 10th from Timber Ridge and hopefully arrive at Pioneer RV Park on October 23rd if they can accommodate us.  If not, we'll find someplace west of Corpus that can until we can get back to Port A.

Here's what our adjusted map looks like:

Here's a link to see the actual sites.

So we'll be here a little longer.  Have a few more fires.  Get the heaters out.  Enjoy Buckeye Football and pumpkin & Oktoberfest beers.  Life is still good.
