Greg &Judy's RVing adventure

In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Thackerville, OK meeting boating friends & a storm

Thursday we made the 126 mike trip up to Thackerville, OK (right on the TX border).  It is hot.....in the low 90s and we have no sand burrs like we have seen here in the past but there are ant hills (one whopper) all over.  After setting up & cooling down we went back to Gainsville, TX and Chicken Express for some chow.  We found this place a couple years ago, didn't like the one in Glen Rose, but this place has some GOOD fried chicken.  We'll return again before we pull out.
Friday afternoon we noticed a red GMC pulling a boat a couple rows over......we have some HitchHiker friends who just parked their HH for the summer in the Rio Grande Valley, hooked up their boat, and are headed NW to the Washington Canadian border for the summer. He'll captain a whale watching tourist boat for the season.  Yup....it was Jim & Joan so we had a nice visit (inside the air conditioning!) with them.
Later that evening, at dusk, a nice thunderstorm blew in.  It was a lulu with 60 & 70 mph straight line winds, lots of rain & even some hail.  We were rocking inside our HitchHiker more that ever before but it was interesting.  Wonder what Jim & Joan experienced in their boat on the trailer?  Good thing we took the flag & both antennas down.  In the morning we scouted the area and lots of small limbs down but no big damage other than a couple canopies torn down.
