Sat April 29 from Foley, Al.

The drive from Kerrville to Egan, La was uneventful and the route alteration worked perfectly as planned. Not a drop of rain and mostly blue skies all the way, with the weather staying in front of us. We spoke with Bob, my brother, during the run on Thursday and they were getting pounded with rain. He was checking in as a good brother would. We landed in the campground called Hidden Pines in Egan a little before 4pm and got setup. We went for a stroll around the grounds and discovered it was a really nice facility with 2 pools, one that had slides for kids. There was also a pavilion that was to have a crawfish cookoff over the weekend - the park for sold out Fri-Sun.

Fri morning we were not in a hurry as the remaining drive time was a bit over 5 hours. The weather had completely moved through and we had clear sailing all the way to Foley and my brother's new home.



This is a look of the front and back yard. They back up to open space and have a lovely view. Friday night we went to a cute small restaurant called Cafe Acadiana and had a wonderful light meal. SO the 10 day adventure begins.

Today, Sat we are going to a German festival of sorts that is a fund raiser for a local school.

Next entry probably Monday.

 Tue morning May 2. The last few days have been generally nice weather-wise and it has been fun to be with my brother. Saturday we went to a German Festival fund raiser. They had a good turn out in spite of the weather, which brought in a thunder storm. We got in line for the sausages and had about a 20 minute wait to get to the window. They were worth the wait. We went to the bake sale next, should have been first. The storm drove everyone inside and they all but bought out the bake sale. We did manage 4 cookies and some peanut clusters. A quiet afternoon followed - while the rain stopped, it was overcast and we were more comfortable inside watching the Mexican Open. Sunday we went for a buffet meal at Saraceno's. This is a tiny place with excellent food and numerus choices. The desserts were wonderful as well. After the meal we drove down by the pier in Mobile Bay and walked the open air market that was going on for small businesses. They only allowed people to display what the m...

 Thursday May 8, Monday the weatherman was less than friendly and decided to drizzle on us most of the day. The walkers got in their walk and we spent the day in the condo or on the balcony. Our nephew Brandon and his wife Joi came over and spent the afternoon with us. This is Joi and my sister Bunny. Brandon cooked for us and made Cajun shrimp etouffee, which was wonderful. Here is a group photo minus photographer Deb. Brandon is standing on the left and Joi is front right. Tue. was checkout day, so we all packed up and then met at Duck's Diner for a final breakfast before Bunny and Michael headed for Fl and we returned to Bob and Roz's house. Later, we made our first stop at a semi-fast food place, Culver's, for dinner and an ice cream. The evening was spent watching a movie. Wed. Bob went to work at the golf course, while Deb and I prepared for the Thursday departure. Repacked and reorganized for a visit to friends in Jackson, MO, before starting west. A quiet evening at...

 April 26. Having concluded the blog entry on Monday after our visit to Sedona we decided we needed to check the weather for the next part of the trip. Good thing, the original itinerary had us going I-40 to Tucumcari, but the weatherman had severe thunderstorms and possible hail predicted for that route. We changed to Las Cruces, NM and and had a beautiful sunny day off the interstate on two lane road from Holbrook to Deming. Very enjoyable ride and a pleasant night in Hacienda RV Resort. Excellent facilities with private showers and other amenities. Deb was slightly less pleased because of the proximity to I-10, which I found as white noise that helped me sleep. On the road at 7:30 we planned for Kerrville, Tx again due to weather considerations. We are behind a storm and want to stay behind it rather than drive into it but we expect scattered thunderstorms tonight, clearing we hope by morning. I am in the campground, River Trail Cottages & RV in Kerrville. A bit pricey but w...
