April 16, 2024 – End of our Texas work days
Finally, we finished the bulk of the work we needed to do in Texas.
Our 3 days of travels from Ajijic to Dallas were without drama, other than a VERY long and frustrating 2 hours waiting to get through the border into the US.
“The Benz” was in fine shape when we got to her, and we were able to sleep aboard the first night without any difficulty. After some serious shopping to get stores, we set off for Willis (just north of Houston) where we had plans to work with Josh McBryde, a LTV specialist, to get some small but complex upgrades installed. Josh is very good, but the weather was not cooperative, and we spent 2 of our 4 work days being inundated with rain, thunder and lightening. However all got done eventually, and we were able to head north again.
We stopped for Sunday night at Levon Lake, a popular camping and recreation spot not too far from Dallas. Quite beautiful, and only a short hop to Denton, where we had plans to get our Borg stems and tire pressure monitoring system installed. These last two were key to our ability to keep tabs on and manage the Benz’s tires.
Then we had two days at Ray Roberts State Park, about an hour north of Dallas. Beautiful spot, and despite some fierce winds on Monday night, it was a relaxing time. Next, it’s on to Oklahoma!
This came thru perfect! What a challenging start to the trip. Glad all is well with you both and looking forward to following your travels.
Glad to hear from you both. All is well here. It is heating up as usual this time of year. Oklahoma? Really?
