We had planned a leisurely morning at Catherine Lake, such a nice park, and didn’t leave until almost 10 am at 22C. It’s a beautiful morning, birds singing. It was hard to leave such a nice spot.
However, after checking the weather map and seeing a large rain/snow system moving over Texas early in the week, we decided we needed to get west of Dallas asap, so that's what we did today.
The winds were milder this morning but picked up in the afternoon, out of the North now rather than from the south. We saw more and more daffodils out as we moved further south. It must be one of the few flowers that most varmints don't like.
Good roads today. We stopped in Texarkana for fuel for the van and for us (Cracker Barrel). On the waitress recommendation, we split the daily special of 2 pieces of boneless fried chicken with biscuits and 2 sides. Good decision to split it!
We ended up in one of the campgrounds in Ray Roberts Park, just northwest of Dallas. Way too expensive, $39 for the night, the most expensive of the trip! It did include electric and water hookups though, and really good washrooms.
