Day 14 with Ruby and Rocket

It was sad to leave our beautiful place in Campwood.  After the drive to Buckhorn Lake, I should have just called Bill and said forget it! (Except we didn’t have cell service)  OMG the drive was harrowing!  First I pulled back out on Texas 55 going East and thought this is great!  Had my favorite CD going and all.  Well shortly it got a little more exciting and then it was pretty populated with lots of motorcycles.  IT WAS A MOTORCYLIST’S DREAM!  Narrow, windy and hilly roads which took all my concentration.  I had to pull over several times to let the motorcycles go by as they were coming and going.  So I’m moving along and Gabby (my GPS) tells me I need to take a right in about 3 miles but I see Highway 39 which is the highway Bill told me he would be on so I didn’t listen to Gabby and turned on to Highway 39.  Never again will I disagree with Gabby!  This rode was 39 miles of excitement!  More turns, narrow and motorcycles plus crossing the Guadalupe River about 10 times I kid you not!  I stopped at this picnic place for a sandwich and to get control of myself.  I talked to Chris as he’s at some big concern thing in Coachella this weekend and his camping neighbors had a bloody mary bar.  I would have killed for a bloody mary about then!!

Anyway I made it to Buckhorn Lake RV Park.  Wow is it fancy.  So far Ruby has been like a Cadillac but here she’s more of a Chevy!  There are some beautiful RV’s here and some with their stupid, fancy motorcycles. Needless to say I’m having a little wine with dinner!  May have to visit the fitness center in the morning.  It’s so funny that all these people have little golf carts and drive everywhere.  They need to be at the fitness center!  One couple was driving their cart while walking their dog.  Now really people  would it hurt to walk!

Bill had a hard day of riding with headwinds and 80 something miles.  I don’t know if I feel  sorry for him as I had a little trying day myself!  Tomorrow shouldl be easy with only about 60 miles to go.  Hopefully Gabby has the best route planned out for us. 

Off to Blanco, Texas.  Oh and it’s still windy!
