Timing can mean everything when traveling with an RV. We lucked out returning the day before another 6 inches of snow fell on our home in Onalaska, Wisconsin. Thanks to travel apps and weather reports. We found we could drive about 250 miles or 6 hours with breaks, which ever came first is when we were ready to call it quits for the day.
Now to reflect on things we learned.

| Sanders Cove ACOE Park near Paris Texas for $9.00 night |
We learned about the toll ways by accident. The one from Kansas City through Oklahoma cost us $18 and the one around Austin we couldn't figure out how to pay for. So we asked some locals and found out it's unmanned and we'll receive the bill by mail in about 6 months with a souvenir photo that will probably run us another $15.00.

| Cedar Breaks ACOE Park each site had it's own shelter |
We really can't live without WIFI, but fortunately almost everywhere has a connection, except Army Corp of Engineer Parks. The great thing about ACOE parks is the cost when you have the Lifetime Senior National Parks Pass. Camping fee with electric and water hookup ranged between $9-$13.00 per night. We'll worth the $10 sign up fee, or $80 now if you missed the birthday deadline.

| Ready to cook from HEB |
Finding local grocery stores really offered a unique and inexpensive way to savor the local cuisine. These easy to make packets from the HEB stores were great. I've got to try and duplicate the Armadillo Eggs.
Texas is full of wineries, dead skunks and the only Armadillo I saw was road kill.
Since a month only covers a small bit of Texas we hope to go back and visit Big Bend National Park.
