We bid adieu to DFW and headed for the Texas wine country. We decided to avoid Austin, so we took 377 south from Benbrook to Stephenville before getting on US281 to Johnson City and then 290 through Fredericksburg. A little bit longer of a drive but a lot less traffic and hassle. Besides which we got to enjoy the wonderful Texas countryside! The wind was kicking up and we were blown around a little, but we have been through much worse. As we drove through Fredericksburg, we could see there were a lot of people in town for the weekend. So we decided that we would relax on Saturday, after a busy two weeks in DFW, rather than deal with crowds. We are staying at The Vineyards of Fredericksburg ($47.50 a night with Good Sam Discount). They are only doing no touch check in which was basically the same as late arrival. Our site has no shade, but the Sat TV works great after having gone without it for a month. But the Internet connection is really slow! Water pressure is 60Lb! Our site is gravel and sloped but we did not have any issues getting level. The temperatures are very comfortable. Best time of the year to be in Texas!

2 October 2020 Hot Springs AK to Arlington TX
It was a long day’s drive, but we are finally back in Texas! It is a huge relief! We have been so worried about getting caught in another nationwide lock down or in a state mandated quarantine in some distant location. So it is great to be back in the heart of Texas, close to our doctors, family and friends. We plan to spend a couple of weeks in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to visit our doctors, dentists and veterinarian to catch up on our yearly “maintenance”. But, most importantly, to visit with our close friends and family in a safe manner. Were at the Treetop RV Park ($77 per night, no discounts (Suncoast Resort)) in south Arlington. We thought we would try this RV resort since it is more central to where we want to go than the Vineyard RV Resort up in Grapevine. From here we will head for the Texas wine country for a couple of weeks and hope the wine tasting rooms are back open by then (Bars in Texas are still closed due to COVID)!
