Loaded up and headed to Cedar Ridge, in order to take the kids out to dinner. The drive was pretty miserable. We took the route that paralleled I-35 to the east, and once again, stupid Google maps routed me on an FM road without me realizing it. It tried to do that two other times and I redirected my route, but this one time it won. It wasn't so bad a road, but still.
It was supposed to be TX-359, then US-181, then TX-80 up to TX-130 the Pickle Parkway. But to get from US-181 to TX-80, then was a short jog on FM-792, i believe, but didn't see on the map until
it was too late. TX-80 was pretty bumpy, and not all that bad although there were places with two-lane roads and no passing zones. But not too many of those.
We arrived at Cedar Ridge a little after three p.m. It was fairly empty but filled up with plenty of loud, obnoxious idiots after dark. We did dog walks and showers, then went to dinner with Edward and the family. Good to see them but we didn't get back to Mammoth until nearly nine-thirty. Very, very tired.
Saturday
Edward picked up doughnuts and brought them and the kids to see us before we left. It was a nice thing to do.
The drive up on 35-West stunk, mainly due to the heat, the traffic, and the 13-minute slowdown in Fort Worth. But we got home in the end, so that's something.
