Slight Change
We'd planned on a short day going just halfway to Kerrville so we got up a bit late, made a full pot of coffee and were ready to settle in and watch the Sunday news programs. I took a minute to call the KOA we planned to stay at and ...yikes...they were closed, or at least no longer a KOA. OK...now what.
So Jim suggested that we just go all the way to Kerrville which was 345 miles. I called the resort and they said, sure we'll work you in here. You may have to move on Monday but come on in! OK...
So we quickly packed up and hit the road. We got around Dallas with not much trouble but there was construction along the way. Imagine...you take the right lane exit from one freeway to another, go over the third level flyover, head down the ramp and ...wowo...construction! Downhill, 65 mph and concrete dividers on both sides leaving about 9 feet to go through and we're 8.5 feet wide. (Well maybe I exaggerate but it was tight!)
It really was not too bad a trip. The worst part was probably Austin where we had to go on the freeway through downtown. I'll bet there is a bypass but I couldn't figure it out.
We actually made great time and arrived at Buckhorn Lakes Resort for the Datastorm Users Rally. It is so cool to see so many satellite dishes and at night they all have the little blue lamps lit. (Well I guess you have to be part of the Datastorm crowd to understand that :).
We lucked out when we arrived and will be able to stay in the same spot for 9 days. There's a lot to do in the area and the weather looks pretty good so I'm happy to stop for a bit.
We've already met quite a few people here just walking around. I'm really delighted to meet other bloggers and those who read my blog. We chatted with Chris and Mac whose blog I read and I think they read mine. I love it!
We are really pooped after the long drive so dinner was serve yourself....wine and snacks! Works for me!
