The drive from Kerrville to Spring took us through downtown San Antonio and Houston. The traffic was horrific. What should have been a four hour drive took over six. We were so happy to pull into Rayford RV Resort ($778 per month). It feels like home! We have a nicer site this year, that we reserved before we left last year, on the end of a row, which gives us more room and privacy. After getting set up we plopped down in our love seat and just were happy to be able to sit still for a few weeks. It has been a busy year and the last few weeks really were a whirlwind. Of course we will not be sitting still, we have repairs to make to the Wanderer, maintenance to get done on the Behemoth, friends and family to visit, and of course the holidays to celebrate. We need to get new hiking boots and walking shoes since we wore our current ones out.
We can summarize our travels in 2019 with:
1. Drove over 33,000 Miles in the Behemoth (Our F-350).
2. Visited 22 National Parks (total so far of 29 out of 61).
3. Visited 25 NPS National Monuments (total so far of 31 out of 84).
4. Visited 5 National Monuments run by BLM/NFS/FWL
5. Visited 14 other interesting places (Scenic Byways, castles, NRA/NHS/NHR, state parks).
6. Hiked over 500 miles gaining over 38,000 feet of elevation.
7. Visited friends and family along the way.
8. Met lots of interesting people.
9. Learned a lot about our magnificent country and our national parks.
10. Posted over 205 entries to our Blog (We have had over 3000 views of our blog this year alone from all over the world).
We probably will not be making any posts until we prepare for next years travel season the end of January. We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!
