July 26,2020 Headed to Canyon Lake

Luckily we didn"t get much rain from Hurricane Hanna. Most everything was loaded and ready to go this morning.  We got on the road about 8:30.  We decided to run 290 instead of I-10.  We made one stop in Hempstead for Susan to refresh her drink. Our favorite little cafe in Chappel Hill has closed so we were looking for another place to eat. I picked a little cafe in Giddings callled "Mels Diner". There is room for parking on the street behind the cafe which is the first criteria on picking a place to stop. We had a chicken fried steak and it was pretty good. Easy in and out so this will probably be our new stopping point on travels this way. We ran into road construction on Hwy 21 into San Marcos. It was a rough road in places, may pick another route going home. When we got to Canyon Lake we stopped at Brookshire Brothers and bought a few grocerys. We arrive at Potters Creek at 2:45 pm. Check in time is 3:00 pm and they wouldn"t let anyone check in till 3:00.  There were 3 trailers ahead of us and 2 behind us . They promptly started checking us in at 3.  First time I have ever seen a park do this.  We headed in and started setting up. First thing I noticed was our fridge/freezer doors open up during the trip and dumped a few things on the floor. This gave Susan something to do while I unhooked.  We have a nice site but the drive drops off quickly and the ball didnt want to drop from hitch. I just unpinned the hitch and pulled forward. After getting a few things settled we took a little drive while trailer cooled down. It was 97 inside when we got there. It was about 91 outside but there was a wind blowing and the humidity was low. As long as you were in the shade it was ok.  The park is full capacity for campers but we have pretty big sites so its nice. The water looks wonderful. When we got back the trailer was down to 84.  I started setting up the satellite tv and finally got signal.  We sat outside for happy hour untill about 8:45.  It was very nice with the shade and the breeze. Hope it stays this way.
