What a glorious morning. The sky is completely blue, not a cloud in sight. No wonder its only 30 degrees out. The winds died down about 4:00 AM this morning after howling all night. We probably had gusts up to 30 or 35 mph that would rock the coach from side to side. Even the kids were nervous and slept curled up right next to us all night. Ah well, it is a beautiful day for a drive.
We finished breakfast, cleaned up, put away, disconnected and pulled out by 8:30 AM. I-10 was just a few blocks away so our days journey got off to a quick start. Within the next ten miles the wind came up again blowing strongly from the north with frequent gusts pushing hard against the coach. Since we were westbound, our drive was an adventure in keeping the coach in our own lane, not easy with big trucks overhauling us on the left and idiots entering the freeway on the right.
Our most woolly time was going through San Antonio. Originally our directions had us leaving I-10 for one of the ring roads that ran north of the city. But we forgot to check our written directions for the direction change until we were long past our turn off. So on we went, snaking through the center of San Antonio, trying to be in the correct lane at the right time to make the move, left or right, to stay on I-10 as we passed through a very tangled set of interchanges and merges.We made it through okay with good navigating by Tina and continued out of San Antonio to our exit, thirty miles later, where we pulled into the RV USA Campground just outside the small town of Comfort Texas. Even though it was only a little past noon we were glad to settle in for the rest of the day with lots of time to relax and take the dogs for several walks.
