Yay - the brilliant blue sky and big yellow sunshine are
back. Travel day today! Going across the other side (east) of Dallas
to another Thousand Trails CG. Both GPS’s
don’t recognise the address but it is correct, I checked it online. However the Allstays App on the IPAD does
know about it so we should find it OK.
It’s about three hour drive.
Say 'bye to Dracula - leaving Bay Landing!! |
Ghosties in the trees |
Field full o'punkins |
It was a pleasant drive, we decided against the faster option of the I35 so we would avoid Dallas,
been there before. So TX380 did the job, some of this we drove four
days ago to get to Bay Landing. Along
the way we saw a couple of examples of a new town being built in the middle of
nowhere, They do it well, they build
the town around the new spec houses (all but one had the same brown tile roof),
join some new entry roads from the Highway to the suburb and Bobs your Uncle.
Arrived 2.30pm, no Halloween decorations welcoming us today. Checked out all the sites to find the best of
the bunch and eventually were set up by 3.30pm.
All the sites here are 30 amp only, but we do have sewer so can launder
to my heart’s content. WTF – the two pools
(family and adult) are closed for summer - but it’s 29C?? The roads around the park are patchy,
literally and pretty rough. The lakeside
sites are all taken up by permanents as is usual in these places. This end of Lake Tawakoni is not particularly
enticing anyway, some of it is appears to be just stagnant low water. Our site was asphalt at some stage but there
is a thick layer of dust covering everything now. There aren’t many people around our loop but most
of the sites all have rigs in them.
There is a solitary kid riding her bike backwards and forwards. So not really feeling the love today!
Off for a walk to explore the Adult Lodge Pavillion, nobody there but
the AC is on, there are a couple of pool tables, some books and jigsaws, a TV
and lounge area. The pool has water in
it still but management has cancelled the contract to have the pool looked
after so the chemical balance will be out of kilter - no swimming : (
This is the worst place for cobwebs, Everywhere you walk they drape over you. I tried to see what was jumping around in the
lilly pads but didn’t go as far as the end of the pier, the spiders won.
So we have changed our stay here to just two nights, one
full day tomorrow. Then reduced the next
TT booking to 3 nights and extended the final booking to 6 nights – we know
this is a nice place and we will get a rental car for some for the time. All of this I could do on line using our
hotspot : ) There is free WIFI at the two pavilions but we can’t pick it up here.
