HitchHiker Hill Country Rally

                                             Here's tonight's group picture, can you find us?

                                                                      Burger flipping crew.

                                                                          Chow line.

After supper and the opening Steve & Susy brought out their karaoke equipment, here's our rally host's Stan and Connie.  Of course being Texans it was a Texas song.

                                                                     The front row.

                                                       Susy, Christine, John & Steve.

Who needs an expressway to drive fast?

Judy and I went to Ingram this afternoon for lunch and took the long way back to the campground and our home.  We drive along the Guadalupe River which was beautiful....sorry no pictures.  As you can see the speed limit is 70 on a two lane country road, who needs an expressway to do 70?  Gotta love Texas.

Muggles breakfast

This morning Judy made 4 skillets of muggles, the rally doesn't start until Wednesday but there are 10 or 15 rigs here already.  Many hadn't had muggles before but those that have been to HitchHiker rallies in the past have had muggles.  One skillet was left and will be served in a day or two at the 8am coffee.

Johnson Creek RV Park

This is Johnson Creek from the elevated deck and gathering place behind the clubhouse. Most of the early arrivals gather in the clubhouse at 2pm to play Pegs & Jokers or Mexican Train.  At 4pm we all get together for a couple hours for an extended happy hour.
This morning we took the truck in for some warranty work, it clunks when you shift from neutral to either drive or reverse.  The dealer thinks it's in the rear end, perhaps a bearing but we'll have to return next week for the repair.

Local residents & Patches new toy

Every evening a local deer herd stops by for some feed from one of the campgrounds feeders.  They are in the pecan orchard behind our HitchHiker home.   Last night there were several young ones frolicking like little kids.

                                  Hum....I wonder what this thing is that Judy bought for me today?

                                   This feather doesn't smell or taste like the birds I use to catch.

                                                Let's give it a smack and see if it will run away.

Happy hour

Here we are sitting around chatting during this afternoons happy hour.  The weather is great, low 80s and a nice breeze making it very comfortable.

                                                 Jake said his snack was chop licking good.

 

      Here's Sugar and ???.  They belong to the campground owners and live in the pecan orchard beside us.

Johnson Creek RV in Ingram, TX

We went out for ludin (lunch/dinner) with the HH friends that have arrived early for the HH Rally two weeks from now.  Ron & Roberta, Carol & Denny, Stan & Connie, Roy & Carol, then Judy.

All settled in for 3 or 4 weeks relaxation, HH socializing & TX BBQ.  It's been in the low 80s and lots of sunshine with a nice breeze.  We are backed up to the pecan orchard with lots of deer and Grackle's (birds) making their loud and funny noises.  I wonder if the pecan trees will have leafs when we leave?
