Feb 14,15 2024 Mckinney Falls State Park

 This will be our first trip of the year. Sammi has a volleyball tournament this weekend in Austin so we decided to go camping near there for a few days.  We both just got over Covid so I was a little behind getting things ready to roll. Wednesday morning I took the trailer to town to get it inspected so I could get new tags. So glad this is this is the last year I have to do that. i knew my right turn signal wasn't working, problem was a blown fuse which is a recurring issue and I haven"t found the problem.  I stopped at auto zone and got some 10 amp mini fuses and replaced. After getting inspection I took the trailer to a tire place due to a slow leak on a tire. Upon further inspection decided to get four new tires. I had really gone longer than I expected on the cheap tires that came with trailer. Its 4 years old so it was about time. After getting trailer back home I unhooked and headed back to town to go to tax office and the grocery store. Thursday morning we pulled out about 9:00 am.  We were in no hurry as its only about a 4 hour drive.  Lots of traffic on I-10 with one slow down due to a wreck. Finally slacked up about Katy. We stopped to eat lunch in Columbus at Mikeskas BBQ.  We usually stop here because they have a nice parking lot for trucks and trailers.  We arrived at Mckinney Falls about 1:30.  We have a nice pull thru site. We were finished setting up by 2:30.  Old age has really set in for me cause I was wore out. We used to drive all day, stop and set up and then go exploring. Nope not now as i set my butt down and rested for about an hour. After that Cooper and I did take about a mile walk. The weather is really nice right now. I had picked up some chicken salad yesterday from a little place in Liberty that I like and that is what we had for supper.
