Very pleased with Junction, Texas

We weren't in a rush to leave Garner State Park, but we left our site at about 9:00am to drive through the park and down to the store where the laundromat is located. Haven't done any laundry since March 29th in Mazatlan.

That's also the last time we emptied our holding tanks, so it had been 8 days and we can normally go 10 if we're careful, so the grey tank was starting to get full. Probably could have gone another few days on the black tank though. Anyhow, we got the laundry done and emptied the tanks on our way out of the park.

There was a cold front that came through yesterday, and people tent camping sure did look chilly. I don't think the temperature got much more than 55F (13C) by the time we left just before noon, and it was overcast and windy as well.

We headed north on route 83.

Route 83 is a nice wide Texas style two lane road with paved shoulders.

And a 75 mph (120 km/h) speed limit.

 Scenery along the way.

More scenery.

And nobody on the road but us.

Sherman had the cruise control on at a steady 53 mph (85 km/h).

 I guess everybody is on the Interstate!

Yesterday's drive, 70.8 miles (113 kms).

We arrived in Junction, and went straight to Schreiner City Park. The city allows three nights of free camping in the park beside the river, and we've been here before. We had some lunch, and I went to get on the internet but didn't get a Verizon signal. Strange.

And I got a very weak signal on the phone that still has the Mexico SIM card in it. It's supposed to work fine in both Canada and the U.S., and so far that has been the case. Hopefully it continues. I'll have to find some way to recharge it if it continues to work well.

We are booked at a Boondockers Welcome host for one day next week and I had asked him if we could send an Amazon order to his place for us to pick up when we arrive. I received an email confirmation from him, so I needed to get the order done.

We drove into town and found the Junction Library, so we parked in the empty lot of the church next door and hooked into the unsecured signal using our Bear Extender Wifi Antennas.

When we were done there, we went to the local grocery store and picked up some food. Then we drove through the main drag. Very quiet town on a Saturday afternoon!

The antler tree. 

Oh deer.

Main street Junction, Texas.

Where is everybody?

Kimble County Courthouse.

Then, we headed back to the park.

This will do for the night!

Very pleased with Junction, Texas. What a great park to offer for free overnight RV parking. And, we spent some money in the local grocery store and the local liquor store. 

And, Junction is located very close (5 miles, 8 kms) to the South Llano River State Park, so we're headed over there this morning to make more use of our Texas State Parks Pass, but we will return to Junction this evening for another free night.

Temperatures getting back to normal today with blue skies and sunshine, and warming throughout the day to a late afternoon high of 84F (29C).
