Beautiful day in Texas!
Mark exercised, we got Daisy and Toad hooked up and left the McMillan Campground.
We drove downtown Fort Davis and had breakfast at The Porch - this place (breakfast/lunch) is connected to "Blue Mountain Bistro" (last night) and they share the same kitchen. In fact our waitress was working last night at Blue Mountain. Cute place and loved our breakfast paninis and I was able to get a vanilla latte (no skinny as they only had whole milk - THAT's why it was extra yummy)! We had planned to eat at The Drugstore as we had checked their menu when we were there 2 days ago....however, they are not open on Saturdays in observance of the Sabbath.
Not sure their religious affiliation, but the lady at The Porch thought maybe Seventh Day Adventists?
Great breakfast and latte

So, at 10:45 we were on our way traveling 274 miles passing thru beautiful mountain ranges (the Davis Mountains and probably others are so unique as the rock formations are narrow vertical strips). Lots more hills and just like that, we were in flat country seeing oodles and gobs and bunches of oil rigs!!! Also saw several cotton fields. Some of the bales had been harvested and wrapped in yellow or pink plastic binding and other fields waiting for the best picking!
The speed limit on the interstate is 80 mph and even on 2-lane roads, in a construction, the limit is 65 mph! Could not believe this with workers all around and vehicles just zippin' by!!!
We arrived in Sweetwater around 4ish and at the Bar J Hitching Post RV Park for the next 2 nights.
It was HOT today - 86 but tomorrow only 73. We've had so much dust in New Mexico and Texas with all the gravel RV sites and roads. Tomorrow, planning to do some fine-tooth cleaning on Miss Daisy and get to all her nooks and crannies.
I went for a walk after we got settled and Mark took a nap.

Forgot to mention yesterday that one of the mind-blowing facts from the observatory (there were several in relation to the sun) was that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on beaches and the deserts all over the world!!!!
Tomorrow is the 2017 Marine Corp Marathon in Washington, DC. This is in honor of Capt. Jeff Kuss (Blue Angel Marine who died in Tennessee in June, 2016), Travis Manion, Marine killed in the line of duty and for all our fallen heroes. They are expecting 30,000 runners and Ryan will be there along with several Blue Angels and their family members running their 26.2 miles. We wish them the best as they raise $ for the Travis Manion Foundation
Here's my bread pudding from last night (long gone)!
Simply deeelicious
Well just when I was about to post this blog, it started raining and then harder and finally, hail came fast and furious. Not real big stuff but on Daisy's roof, sounded bad. It's dark out so won't know till tomorrow if any damage to Toad or Daisy! Yikes, that was a first and after it was all over, the weather radio went off telling that we could have damaging hail to vehicles???
Till tomorrow....
Pea size hail that sounded much bigger coming down!
