Another freezing cold morning. We had planned to stay another day so we could do laundry and check out the area. But we did laundry yesterday and we explored the day before, so we decided to escape from the cold and go south. Originally we had planned to go to Fort Stockton in Texas but the traffic was light so when we got back to I-10 we pushed on figuring to stop when we got tired of driving. 105 miles further on we pulled into Ozona for gas. The sun was shining and it was about 65 degrees.
After an overnight in Fort Stockton, we had planned to stop at the Caverns of Sonora, near Sonora Texas. But since we'd already been to Karchner and Carlsbad Cavers, we decided to keep going and see if we could make it to the Junction KOA.
After six hours and 325 miles on the road since leaving Carlsbad we pulled into Junction and got set up. It really wasn't a bad day, very little wind or traffic. Normally we try to keep our trip legs to under 150 miles, but by doing the extra miles and being flexible we get to spend some time in Austin. Bill (Tina's Cousin) and his wife Violet live in Georgetown so we'll visit with them, then we'll go to San Antonio for Christmas and on to Corpus Christi for a week on the beach (and New Years day).
This leg, 325 miles. Total for trip so far, 2,779 miles.
