Waco, Texas

Howdy Partners,

Texas is my sort of State. This is real Donald Trump and Republican Country and you all know how much I love the Donald.

I just looove Texas, the Texan Cowgirls in their blue Levi’s jeans and riding boots are absolutely ‘Scrumptious’ I might add.

David and I departed Phoenix on Friday afternoon to drive east on Interstate 10. First night out we spent the evening in a Truck stop just near Lordsburg after we crossed the state border of New Mexico. Last night we parked in a Walmart car park at Odessa in Texas. Tonight we are here in Waco, Texas in a very nice trailer park, the I-35 RV Park and Resort.

Great deal and set-up at where we are staying in 
Waco, TX - at the I-35 RV Park & Resort

Wait for this... it costs US$22.00 per night, for that you have an electrical hook up, town water and a dump where all your waste goes into an outlet, not too shabby. Also included in the $22.00 is a fully cooked breakfast no extra charge.

I also included a photo of the inside of my 33’ Surf Side Motor home [below] just to let you know that I am definitely not slumming it.

We drove 1,000 miles from Phoenix to Dallas, Fort Worth Texas and visited David’s brother and family this afternoon. David's brother Curtis gave us some really good information today regarding things to do and places to see while we are here in Waco.

So tomorrow morning we head 34-miles north to Hillsboro to check out the Roadside American Museum, half way there we will stop in at the town of West to sample the delights at the Czech Stop Bakery for brekko, we've heard that their specialised pastries are to die for.

Texans are very proud of their state
and the Lone Star State flag flies everywhere

There are so many places and things to see here in Waco we have decided to stay for a few days.

Here is a sample of what we want to see here in Waco which is 100-miles north of the Texas capital of Austin. A few years ago I visited the Circuit of the Americas Raceway in Austin to see the Australian V/8 Super Cars strut their stuff to the Americans.

*Chip & Joanna’s Magnolia Market at the Silos
*Texas Rangers Hall of Fame
*Dr. Peppers Factory & Museum
*Waco Suspension Bridge
*Dominos factory - the last one left to produce board game dominos in the entire US.
*David Koresh’s Compound where all those Davidian Cult people were so tragically burnt to death in 1993.
Plus many other places too numerous to mention here.

Spring time here in Texas is such a magnificent time of year to visit. As you can see by the photograph below. For many hundreds of miles along the Interstate Highways the wild flowers are in full bloom on all the median strips and beside the road, sure makes it very pleasurable driving. Definitely not boring.

The photo [below] of the all climate Motor Home cover I bought off the guy I am parked next to here in the Park. We got a chat on when I arrived, he mentioned that he used to own a Motor Home exactly the same as mine. Then he mentioned that he has a brand new cover (still in the box) in the boot of his car that will fit my vehicle. So as the Donald would say; ‘The Art of the Deal’

I am now the proud owner of a brand new cover for my
Motor Home saving about $200.00 in the process.

I asked him how much he wanted for it, he said $200.00, I immediately came back at him with an offer of $100.00, he thought about it for a while, I said that I would pay him cash. I then asked him if he had a wife in his Motor Home to which he said yes. I then said why don’t you go and ask your wife and see what she says. He came back to me in 5 mins & said you have a deal of which I am very pleased about (a bargain) as you can imagine. 

So now I am the proud owner of a brand new cover for my Motor Home saving about $200.00 in the process. Not a bad day I thought to myself, very productive. 

That’s about all from ‘Ken’s Magical Mystery Tour’ for today. So until the next episode, I hope that you are all well. Lastly, remember where you heard it from first. Sco Mo and the Liberals to win the Election on May 18th.

Cheers from the Lone Star State.
