Heading For Falcon Lake Texas

 

Adventure Location: Rockport Tx area

Adventure Date: 1-31-2023

The important part of the day was spent visiting with Don and Patsy who are winter Texans now from Michigan and we know each other for years now. They are lots of fun and the Teams will miss the visits when we roll out in the morning.

When we got back to our computer this evening we found that some names of folks we know, like Don and Patsy, have gotten to be unavailable from the computer list. So now we have to sort out the computer garbage and get things back in order after we get to Falcon Lake tomorrow afternoon.

Naturally the OFM had to leave the memory chip for the camera on the kitchen table this morning so we did not get any pictures for tonight.

However we do have the last coloring finished and please enjoy Flower Parade.





Our exact destination, we have decided, is the Falcon County Park right near the The Falcon Lake State Park and Falcon Lake Dam in Texas. That is a bit over a 200 mile tow using our preferred routing. This area is south Texas desert environment and has been in a drought situation for a couple of years.

We think we will be able to get in some trying to have tooooo much fun by playing in the lake.

  1. "Desert Environment" sounds good to me.

    1. Good. You used to live in an excellent one that I liked the couple of times I went through it in the past.

  2. And only a couple of hundred miles to the north, this town is closed down....just sleet so far. We'll see what happens tomorrow while you are on the road. "Freezing rain" is not a good forecast,though you won't see it....First time above freezing is Thursday, so ice accumulations are a concern here. Loss of electricity is a drag. Hope your drive is smooth and enjoyable! Enjoy!

    1. My route is about a thousand feet lower elevation and 350 miles farther south than your nice town, Predicted temps along the route with the morning low of 42 at Rockport and a High at Falcon Lake of 51 when I am due to arrive. That is too hot for ice to be forming. In the 60s starting Thursday. Yep shorts and tee shirt weather is the reason for being here this time of the year..

  3. I'm guessing the truck repair was a minor thing?

    1. I forgot to report. The water temperature sending unit was replaced. $78 total. Must have been really minor for that price.
