I woke up at 7:30 and played games until 8. Then it was up for breakfast and hooking up. We left the park a little before 9.
The trip was uneventful (yeah) except for me having 2 bouts of diarrhea. Luckily the first hit right at the exit to a gas station with truck parking and the second a short distance to the only rest area for 80 miles. We got 10.4 mpg, helped by a tailwind. That meant that we didn't have to stop for fuel.
We got to the park about 2. We unhooked and went back to Johnson City for fuel and DQ. I only put in 9 gallons. That gave us about 1/3 tank. That's enough to get home and not have a lot in the tank. We also went to Perdanales Falls State park.
The park is about 10 miles from Johnson City. It's pretty nice with lots of trails. We drove to the Falls parking lot and walked .3 miles to the overlook. We might have walked all the way down, but there wasn't enough water to make it worthwhile. It's interesting. Apparently I10 crosses the Perdanales close to its headwaters. When we crossed it on I10 it was nothing bu a shallow gravel ditch - no water at all.
We watched videos when we got home. A heavy thunderstorm moved in about 7 and lasted until 9:30. There was a lot of lightning and loud thunder. I worried for a while that we might get hail. We didn't. Cooper spent a lot of time in my lap. I had to play games on the laptop because the rain was heavy enough to block Star link.
We just snacked a little instead of dinner.
When the rain finally let up I took a shower and then went to bed.
I'm looking forward to getting home tomorrow even though there's a lot of work to be done. I hope that I won't have to deal with any problems at home.
