RV trip, deeper into TX

We continued our push toward Austin this past week, making some more repeat visits to campgrounds we were at about this time last year. When we weren’t traveling, we made a point to focus on work and school.

On Thursday we moved to Columbus TX:

We saw the strangest thing on Friday morning: frost!

We needed to drive through San Antonio to our next campground. Amy couldn’t find any running groups to hang with there, so she found a race instead:

As we were ready to pull out of the campground this morning, two things struck me: 1) what a dump this place was, and 2) I get to leave. Many of the RVs there looked like permanent residences, so I was very thankful for our family’s freedom to move on.

We only drove an hour or so today to our campground for the first half of the week at Medina Lake Preserve in Lakehills TX. (We were here last year.) It felt like a warm Spring day; it was wonderful to be outside all afternoon.

This was my weekend project: a clothes drying rack made out of $13 of PVC pipe:

It surprised me how satisfying it was designing and building with something other than zeros and ones.

I like to sample local beers from wherever we’re at. This Texas brew has an extra nice vibe to it:

We’re here until Wednesday, then we’ll head to Austin for SXSW…I’m pretty excited about that.
