Arrived in Schertz

We left Texarkana at precisely 9AM CST. The GPS started telling us to go ways we just knew were incorrect. Turns out that when we upgraded the software the settings changed to Car, not RV, which we quickly changed. The nice thing was instead of taking us on interstates, which would have taken us west to Dallas, then south, it took us southwest on rural highways the entire way all the way to Austin. We were only on the interstate for 61 miles of our 405 mile trip. The views were nicer, the time flew by, and it was more relaxing than the interstate.

Our joy at having no problems with the engine ended while still in the campground. We filled up last night, and we had the same problem with our fuel filters as before. Very unusual for it to happen once, let alone twice. Will have to fix that before we continue our travels.

Finally, we stopped at a Texas institution, Buc-ees. It is a texas-size fuel/department store. It has 120 fuel pumps and everything from clothing to nuts, kitchen items, foods, deli, and more! We fuelled up there and it was only $2.49 a gallon! The only negative was it took about 20 minutes to fuel as the pumps were the smaller size used in cars, not the larger size used by big rigs/trucks.

We arrived in Schertz around 5 PM to find Mom, Marjorie, and Ron waiting for us outside in the light rain. After backing in the driveway and setting up, we came inside to find Philly cheesesteaks and root beer waiting for us. We sat down to eat and watched the Eagles outplay the Redskins, then watched the Vikings hand the Eagles a playoff spot next weekend.

Anyway, that's it for tonight. Tomorrow Nancy & I will celebrate by sleeping as late as we want, then she is going to a girl's night out to the San Antonio Spurs game.
