Texas!

We crossed the line into Texas today. Have settled in to a little camp right off the interstate at Winnie, Texas. Planned on staying in Beaumont, but all the camps were filled with FEMA people or relocated evacuees, so we came further west. As we passed through St. Charles, Louisiana, earlier we again saw some major destruction from Hurricane Rita. It was quite widespread. At one point we were crossing a bridge over a river and there was a railroad causeway on the right against which there were dozens of boats crashed up onto the causeway.
There were a lot of blue roofs, signs and billboards down and they are currently on the interstate removing and mulching trees that were blown down or uprooted.


Tomorrow we plan on heading toward Hondo where we hope to spend Thanksgiving. Terry has thought all along that Thanksgiving was two weeks away, so we have had to rethink our strategy. That's what nice about being retired, though. . . it just doesn't matter!

We did go back to the casino last night. Didn't have as much luck. I was a little upset at losing my $5 within 20 minutes, so I switched machines and won it back. Then I cashed out and we left. Hah.

Till next time. . .
