Still cold here

Well it is still cold here but should warm up later this week. That will make Gloria happy but it wont be warm enough for her. hahahha
We have done some running around and have seen two museums. The first one was in Bridgeport and was at the visitors center. It was a nice one that tells you about the things that have made this atrea prosper. Like the Butterfield Stage line that really started the town and the oil and gas production. This was a real nice place to visit and best of all it was free.

The next one we went an toured was the Wise County Heritage Museum in Decatur TX. This one is in an old Baptist Collage. It was built in 1892 and ended up being a Baptist Junior College till 1965. They ended up giving it to the historical society and they made it the museum. There is a ton of stuff here and great to look at. They even have a section dedicated to the Lost Battalion. The battalion was captured during WWII when the ship they were traveling on was sank. The men were made to work on the rail road that went to the Bridge over the River Kwai. Also there are lots of things that have been donated to them by settlers from the area. There is also a Cabin on the grounds that was the first building in the county. It was build in in 1854 by Sam Woody. This is a great place to visit and it only costs $2.00 a real bargain.

Warmer where?????

Ok we have made it to Bridgeport TX and it sure isn't all that warm. It is warmer than Denver by a long shot but it is still cold at 39 for a high. We are at an RV park called Bay Landing and is one of our member parks. It is on a large lake called Lake Bridgeport. Have not been down to look at it yet as it is real windy and cold. We will be here for 3 weeks and should have time to enjoy the area. We met up here with friends we have met on the road over the last few years. Brian and Phyllis and Andy and Chris. We always have a good time when we all get together. Well that is all for now and will keep you all informed on our doings.

Heading for warmer weather

Well we left Denver after a great visit. We got to meet up with family and friends for lots of good times. We will miss all our friends and family but it was time to get out of there. Weather is starting to turn cold and you all know how Gloria feels about cold weather. So headed out and stopped for the nigh at a small park in Capulin NM. It is a nice place for a lay over and only costs $14.00 a night. We will leave here in the morning for Amarillo, TX. for the night then off to a park called Bay Landing in Point TX. It is a member park and we will be there for 3 weeks. I have updated our travel plans on this site so if you want to know where we will be for now you can check it out.

Still here in the Denver area

Just an update. We have been having a good time here in our home area. The weather has been good to me but Gloria thinks it is a bit cold. Guess she is right as in the morning it is cold. Like in the high 30's and low 40's but it warms up most day.
Gloria's Cataract surgery went great and now she has 20 20 vision but now has to wear reading glasses. She has one more visit to the doctor to make sure all is still good. After that we will start our west cost trip.
We have been meeting up with lots of family and friends and having a great time. I even got to get together with some friends I have not seen in 20 years and that was way cool. We all worked together at Asphalt Paving. It is always nice to meet up with old friends. We have gone out to eat with lots of them and that is fun too.

We are HERE

We made it to the Denver area on Saturday the 27th. So if you didn't leave town it is too late. hehee
We are staying at South Park Mobile Home Park on S. Federal.  It is a better park than the one we stayed at last year. Much quieter and cleaner. We were planning on leaving here on the  26 but will be here a bit longer as Gloria is going to have eye surgery. So think we will be here till the middle of Nov. We will be in touch with you all and try to get together before we leave.

Last lap till Denver

We stayed last night at Mill Creek RV park in Paxico KA and left this morning and are at High Plains RV park in Oakley KA.. Mill Creek was an ok park but way too close to RR track. It was had to get a good nights sleep with trains running all night. Here about all we have to listen to is the HWY. So it should be much better. Besides this is a great park they have a Bar and Café here. So dinner was done there. We will leave here in the AM and be in Denver early afternoon. So here we come and as least I let you know so you can get out of town before we get there. hehehehe
