Beaumont, TX

We actually got an early start today and left Fredericksburg on time.  No problem with getting into the Shell gas station and filling up the motorhome.  We headed for San Antonio and took the bypass north of San Antonio rather than driving through the center of town.  There are a number of places on I-10 in SA that require you to switch across 2-3 lanes in a short distance.  Not for me.

I wanted to get through Houston before rush hour and made it with time to spare.  The traffic in Houston was heavy, but it moved quickly without any problems.  We breezed through there and made it outside of Beaumont, TX around 4:30 pm.  All in all it was an easy 340 mile drive.  We like to keep our driving distance to 350 miles or less a day if at all possible.

I contemplated not writing a blog today since it was just a common driving day.  There are some days like this and at least for those who keeps track of our travels, they will know where we are.  

It is hot and humid here in the Beaumont area.  Quite a change from the Tucson area with it's 9% humidity.  We are camped near a small lake and the adds to the humidity.  Whew!  

Wednesday we will head for Mandeville, LA and the Fontainebleau  State Park.  Louisiana has an agreement with Maryland and gives a 50% discount to Maryland residents.  Plus, it is a nice State Park and we like the area.  

See you later.
