Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, totally worn out, shouting "Wow...What a Ride!"

Martin Dies Jr State Park-Our Last Texas Stop


February 4-6, 2019

 On the road Monday by 9 am for our uneventful 2.5-hour ride on mainly 2 lane highways. Our destination Marin Dies Jr State Park. Our reservation was in the Walnut Ridge section but the Headquarters were across the street in the Hen House section. After driving through Walnut Ridge and figuring out what sites might work for us we headed over to the Headquarters to check on site 228’s availability. We did take a ride thru the 30amp Hen House campground, sites weren’t big enough for our 40’ 5th wheel. So site 228 it was, level site with great (portable) satellite access and right on the water. The only drawback is the road noise over the lake.



After settling in we took a walk around the campground and helped find a camp host’s lost dog. A nice fire ended our day.



 Tuesday and Wednesday were spent chilling around the campground, getting walks in and trying to learn how to eat low carb.





Of course, I had to find a geocache or two.



 It’s been a nice relaxing stay, the temps have been great and aside from the road noise, our site was great. Will we be back here, not sure as there are some COE campgrounds nearby to check out.

Thursday we’re off to Poche’s RV Park in Breaux Bridge, time for Dave to figure out what is low carb in Cajun Country.
Until next time...
