Day 16: Houston, TX

Stop 13: Houston, TX

A relatively uneventful day.  We drove about 165 miles with the Magellan trying to pull us over to a longer route the entire way.  We are still trying to work this out with Magellan.

Got to our campground in Houston and no sooner got unhitched and set up and they cut off the water.  Apparently, someone had run over the water pipe in their campsite and the water had to shut it down until it could be fixed.  The office had no idea that the water was off and the plumbers had no idea if it could even be fixed today (good communication).  We checked the far end of the park to confirm that they still had water and got our site changed.  In this heat and humidity (highest of the year the news says), packing back up and moving was not a welcome task.

Unfortunately, this new site is just a little too far from the wifi.  We had great internet at the waterless site but we have none here.  I'm writing this post using Notepad and will post it tomorrow when we have a connection again.

Here's our (second) campsite.  That field in the background is apparently the site of "Texas' biggest flea market" on Saturday and Sunday.  This is Friday night so the morning might be interesting.
