Reluctantly, we departed Lake Medina Thousand Trails in Lakehills and continued our journey east. Lake Medina was a great place to malinger for a few weeks.
We ignored the detailed driving instructions emanating from our GPS unit, choosing instead to skirt the entire San Antonio area by taking the outer loop road around the north half of the traffic nightmare. Once on the east side of town, we ramped over to I-10 and pushed down the throttle. All our recent trailer repairs seem to have functioned flawlessly.
A few hours later we arrived in Columbus, TX. We have stayed here a couple times before and we like it because there are great local food outlets and abundant wild animals. We received the last space available in the Colorado River Thousand Trails campground that had a sewer connection so it appears we will get to stay in the same spot for our entire stay here instead of having the joy of taking our trailer to the dump station every four days. We are elite members (although not elite persons) so we can stay 3 weeks without paying for anything but food and fuel. Our spot is shaded by big oaks. There are lots of birds in the oaks. The cardinals stand out like a sore thumb in this green enclave. The sunset today was magnificent. Our satellite antenna works perfectly. We have a sufficient wine, beer and booze supply. We have ample food. We are happy campers.
