Pops had one of those amphicars cars when I was young. Fucker leaked like a sieve. Mom wanted none of that action, so poof it was gone. 😜

RV park in LA waiting for my spot to clear in Texas next week. Not much to do here except that swamp riding shit. If I am not too drunk at dinner time will drive to get some Cajun food.

Roxy says it time for a nap in the shade.

Damn…you might be right. Hmmmmm. Oh well…I am no farmer ;)
Me either, but I sure drive by alot of corn and know what it looks like. I ask only because I am curious, hope it didn't come across as a call out 👊

Lol. No call out in the least. I think you are right. There was a helo spreading stuff on it yesterday so it is a crop. I bet you that you are right. I was kind of looking at it a little cross eyed though. Haha

We stop at Bucees whenever we are on the road going to the races. They are easy to get in and out of towing a trailer and most will let you pump $150 at the pump before it shuts off. The wife loves to shop a little and the brisket sandwiches are pretty good.

I stay at the Top of the Hill place close by the Jen-Robt. They are like others pretty busy right now. There are two others by their house but don't like what I have read about them. Gruene is just a little bit farther than I want to drive between the park and their house.

I will be in late Tuesday....Wed getting all situated and staying for a week. Luckenbach next weekend sounds good. I will try to pull Jen away from her college football....she is a nut over that stuff.....lol Assuming you are talking Saturday?????

Out of here tomorrow AM and heading to Texas. Been great weather while here but today the humidity is back.

The park I stayed out here in LA is a great park for families. Pools and so forth with activities for the kids. I got in a far corner so I could just chill. Big groups come out here and they have plenty of wide, long RV spaces (all cement pads) as well as cabins. They even have covered RV spaces if you want something like that. Just out of Lafayette LA.

So we should not be anxiously awaiting for any local cajun hangout reports ? Not even a swamp boat ride chasin gators ?
Now if TPC was there, we'd all be chowin on some crawdads and be entertained by pics of the hometown cajun bar-gals :oops:

You OK, you're keepin a pretty low profile on this leg ? Or simply in recharge mode for what's coming up next ? --- Texas 👍👍👍

Travel safe sir 👍

Just chillin out. Ate some cajun food at CTs and watched some college football at the bar. The shrimp poboy was awesome. Was gonna play some golf but didnt. Bought a few pounds of fresh caught big shrimp to fix up at my sisters house in TX.

Ya…Roxy and I kept a low profile. Weather is changing as we left.

Nothing exciting to report ;)

Dammit. Tire let lose on the 10 in Beaumont TX. Getting that squared away right now. I am in a church parking lot and two people have stopped and asked if they can help. Texas hospitality ;)

Oh well….just happy I got off the fwy before it completely blew out.

Just sitting in the lot waiting.





This tow truck swooped in and immediately grabbed this car. Repo?

So parts were only available in San Antonio. Lucky my brother in law is picking them up and running them out here. May be back on the road late tonight…very late.

Hoping the derelicts know to stay the f away from us. Just in case I have a big baseball bat on my hip ;)

Well the weather looks nice in the south today, good luck with the repairs. Sturgis 30 degrees, a foot of snow and still blowing. 🥶

Got in about 1.5 hours ago in Boerne Texas. What a long night driving in the dark, early into the morning on a lot of under construction and narrow freeways.

Time for a shower beer and nap.

Alls well that ends well.

Helluva storm out here in Texas right now. Went to my sisters house for dinner and hightailed it back to my location. Roxy and I are stuck in the truck trying to get a break from the lighting and rain to get in the 5th wheel. Its pretty cool to see but to many lighting strikes right now to risk exposure.

The two craziest storms this year I have been in are both in Texas. When the trip was starting and now it is ending. Hmmmmm

Glad I am not there. Lol

No desire to be in the trailer with snow and cold around.

Falls coming in hard

Lot of areas already getting snow, could be a cold one also. Your road map has been perfect throughout your travel.
I have been very lucky weather wise. Next year I probably see the flip side. I hope not
