Lackland AFB, San Antonio

Last post should have been titled Houston.

Now we are in Lackland AFB, Texas.

From Houston (which is now dead to me) we had a miserable day on the road. A 2-1/2 hr trip was almost 6. Traffic was awful. After crawling along for at least an hour we got detoured off the highway onto a terrible road with lots of potholes. We were very glad we had beefed up the suspension in the truck and the camper both. Finally we got here and that same night severe thunderstorms rolled through. Fortunately we were in between two of them and although it looked very scary both storms missed us. Whew!!!

We met Chuck, 65 yo and single. He’s retired army, flew choppers. He showed us the inside, it is very cleverly organized. He’s got hot water on demand, roomy sleeping area plus a tent on top. Things fold out and up and down like a Swiss Army knife. We love this guy, great conversationalist. From him we found out about a Wee Boost, an antenna that brings in a cell signal when you are out in the middle of nowhere. Vic called the guy he used and set up installation tomorrow.

On Tuesday we are going to Corpus Christi. My friend Margo told us the birding there is amazing. We want to see Riverwalk but the logistics are problematic so we’ll see if that happens.

Somehow these photos got overlooked. Vic took these at Rutherford Beach in LA.
