Adventure Location: Campground 277 North, Lake Amistad,
Texas
It was during ride to go see another campground when BB
and the OFM stopped here to see what was new.
Suddenly we knew that we were going to change locations. This is quieter and has fishing, biking,
walking and water for playing in yaks.
The campsites are generally decent and it is definitely
dry camping.
BB and the OFM went back to San Pedro to do a pack up and
couple up. The OFM left first because he
had to go to Governor’s Landing to get water. That was an interesting event
since the campground is on a narrow ridge.
We found that the Teams could easily navigate the camp road that was
designed for tenting type camping. After
the water was on loaded we headed out for the new location. The new location is
about two miles farther out than San Pedro.
The old road 277 went down into and across a canyon that
is now normally lake. However the lake is so low that the road bed and the two
old bridges are exposed. They make great
yak launch spots and fishing areas. This picture is from the end of the road
bed from 277 north looking over to the place across the lake where 277 emerges
from the lake.
Now looking back across the bridge and up the hill to the
campground you can see the area for launching the yaks. The bridge just has to be a good crappie
fishing area.
However trouble has struck. When the Truck left the
Whataburger tonight the message window on the dash mentioned that the batteries
were not charging. OH MY what now??????
So tomorrow will be a day of adventure at the GMC repair shop. Sitting
around a repair shop waiting for pocket book rape to occur is not the way for
trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
ALERT ALERT
The day just got to be OK. Here is Grandson Gavins latest effort at being a cutey. Not bad for a youngster related to the OFM.

Perhaps you will get lucky and a battery disconnect for 5 minutes will clear it up. Since computers got into cars, ghosts now run amok. Looks like a great place to play.
ReplyDeleteI guess I could try disconnecting both batteries and see what happens. At least the batts are not needed to run the engine, only to turn over the starter and operate the computers.
DeleteYour grandson is absolutely adorable!

ReplyDeleteYour comment made me wonder how your campground was quieter when it is by a highway? or are you refering to the incident with the sheriff's department at San Pedro?
San Pedro has highway 90 with lots of truck traffic near it. The houses nearby always had barking dogs, music and other neighborhood noises. The incident turned out to be some illegal off roading going on. That was the only "incident" I have ever had in Del Rio. San Pedro is still a nice location but the lake went away.
DeleteI'm sure your cute grandson is the spitting image of you at that age. Most babies are cute. It's their job, and they're good at it.
ReplyDeleteI was staring into the showstopping eager eyes of an 8 month old just the other day. We were a couple of bookends. At first I thought I was looking at the future, and she was looking at the past. But maybe it was just the other way around.
I think I'll shut up now. I don't want to jinx her.
Yep, he looks just like you and I bet he grows up to be a RVer, too.
