Day One of my 4 day journey to Brandon MS

Left Bastrop TX, probably for good (except perhaps for an occasional visit) at around 10:00 am. Destination, Tyler, TX. I made it to the Tyler Oaks RV Park around 2:00 pm
Most of the way, it was Farms and blue skies. Ponds and Cows. Small towns and skunk carcasses (street crossing epic fail).

Pretty boring, actually. Every now and then you go up a rolling meadow and are able to see far into the distance. It’s actually very pretty.

It took Ruby a little while to finally settle down and go to sleep. She was rubber necking at first. This is a test. We are trying out her new doggie booster seat. That way I won’t throw her into the dash if I have to stop abruptly. I can’t reach her in this Motorhome. Also, it will keep her in her seat and not all over me while I am driving. Safety first.

About an hour from my destination I turned south on Hwy 155, not to be confused with Interstate I-55. All of a sudden it was pine trees everywhere. Then a beautiful break in the trees, to what I later discovered, is Lake Tyler. Very pretty.

Tyler Oaks RV Park is a nice park with lots of amenities but no trees, just gravel and concrete. Very little grass even. They can pack them in here, that’s for sure. Hot though! Not the shaded lot like I had at the Buescher State Park. It’s only for one night, so it’s fine. I was able to get my laundry done, cook dinner, and go get a shower in the bath house all before 5:00 pm

It’s gonna be an early night! Wait, I believe, every night lately is an early night. What is happening? I’m Old!
