Day 19

We drove up to Austin today to look at a couple of RV parks and some homes. The whole thing was a 300 mile trip. We learned that we don't want to live east of I35. The land is flat and boring. Much of it is treeless.

We visited two RV parks. One was out in the middle of nowhere and not much more than a parking lot. The other was nice. It was treed and quiet. Unfortunately it's a little expensive and a long way from where we would like to look for homes. We called the park in San Marcos that we stayed at last year. They are booked. Then we called the park in Bulverde that we also stayed in last year. They may have a spot tomorrow.

The homes we looked at were OK but nothing special. None of them were especially close to services. One was at least 10 miles from anything. Another was on 6 acres of land, but they placed the house right on a busy road. Go figure.

We saw something unusual on the way to Austin. It was a funeral procession with at least 100 cars in it. I'm not exaggerating. The procession stretched for almost a mile. I don't know who died, but he must have had a lot of friends. Fortunately we were driving in the opposite direction.
