Wednesday February 15^th

I made oatmeal for breakfast for the first time in the trailer; I thought it turned out OK, but I did see my other half putting some salt in it. It took us longer than I thought it would to get packed up and get everything stowed; of course this is the first time. We will get the time whittled down after we do it a few times.

We finally got rolling about 1045 and got all the way to the front gate of the RV park where they have a RV washing facility. I spent over two hours brushing and washing everything on the trailer including the roof. It looked pretty nice when I got done. All the side gutters get clogged up setting under the maple tree all summer, so there was a lot of gunk to wash out. I even unrolled the awning and cleaned it.

It was after 1pm when we pulled out of there, then stopped for gas and a few miles later stopped for lunch. So it was probably after 2pm before we actually put some serious miles on. We got around Fort Worth without event; once we got off of I-35W the traffic wasn’t too bad. We only made it as far as Abilene tonight and stopped about 6:30 at “The Abilene RV Park.” It’s right off of I-20 but the way the traffic sounds it’s not far enough off.
