CB in Gainesville, TX to Palo Duro Canyon State park, TX
Street noise/trucks and trains here and there but I still slept well. Route 82 to 287 in texas and then some smaller roads to Palo Duro Canyon State park. A pleasant drive...some trucks but not ridiculous like route 81 in VA. Stops for gas, walmart. Note to self...farm roads in Texas so far have been paved and good. Other states (Michigan....gravel). We arrived around the usual 4pm and it took longer than it should have...hit some wind right at us about ¾ of the way. The area around and most of what we have seen in Texas has been flat....then there is the ditch/canyon that is Palo Duro. It was somewhat steep going down, down, down into the canyon to our campsite. There is only one other camper in this campground...Hackberry. Not really surprised...it is not the weekend and it IS going to be COLD...single digits at night. Not ideal “camping” weather. The site we had selected #11 was a bit more unlevel than we wanted so David drove jeep up to Ranger Station to sweet talk girl to into switching sites to a bigger and more level one...especially since it was really empty. She pushed a few buttons and we got the site we wanted.
Dinner: frozen pizza cooked by David in our convection/nuker oven that I have yet to figure out. My first attempt at cookies were mush. That machine is tricky because it does multifunctions in one cooking operation...can be nuker, then convection, then grill....so what exactly am I cooking in/on...not metal due to nuker, maybe not paper due to grill or convection.....argh.
