Good-bye Choke Canyon!
Oddly hard drive to Palmetto State Park. I think it was raining. I decided to stop for gas before going into the campground; the place was the Love's in Luling, Texas and it turned out to be a very tiny Love's with only four truck pumps, all occupied.. Ed wanted to air up the tires, but a truck pulled up behind him and he got cold feet and went on. The issue was that he had new apparatus to make the Love's air pump work with our tires and he needed time to get comfortable with it.
Our onboard air compressor wasn't able to get up to pressure. He tried, after we arrived at the campground, but wasn't successful. So we still need air. Not badly, but it would be nice.
All day long, I was chilly to the point of miserable. But then we went to dinner with Bob & T, and that was warming and very pleasant. There was a cold draft in the restaurant whenever the front door was opened, but not so bad as to make my teeth chatter.
Palmetto is a very nice park. The campsites are a little tight, but not at all impossible for a 35-foot RV. I chose the largest site I could find, a 55-foot one, and the Jeep fit neatly in front of the RV. We didn't even have to overhang the back end of the RV over the site's backstop like we usually do.
On arrival, Molly and i took a walk in the misty rain. Then we left her behind to go eat. I had a fried crawfish salad that was huge and delish! Plus Bob bought onion rings for everyone.
Molly's bed time walk was down the Palmetto trail with a flashlight. Lovely. But wet. And chilly.
