Texas Hill Country and McKinney...blog #5

 
Texas Hill Country and McKinney

This portion of the blog will be more like an update than a blog about our travels. Also will have retraction/clarification.
The Hot Springs section referred to Roosevelt going to Hot Springs. I was wrong. Roosevelt went to Warm Springs in Georgia. I just wish somebody other than Emerson would have found the error and sent me the note to correct my error. Emerson by his own account is a mountain of useless information and he will never allow me to forget my error. No wonder Hot Springs did not have any Roosevelt slept here plaques.
We found an RV Park in San Marcos TX. The Park is about 20 miles from Gil's. We went over the first evening and were entertained by looking at some of his new art. He then turned into a good chef and we had a nice Steak.
 
The second day we were at Gil's a couple of his friends came down from Austin and Gil's significate other came over from Huston. One of his friends pictured to the right. Pat Green. I was clueless as to who he was. Other than a nice guy. Come to find out he is a very well known Country and Western entertainer. He referred to himself a couple of times as a three time Grammy Award looser. After dinner and sitting on the porch watching a Hill Country Sunset we were entertained for a couple of hours. I quickly became a fan.

Our third day in the area Gil came over to the coach after all his company left. We found a great Barbecue Kent Black. Was a nice time to relax spend time together.

We left the Hill Country and went North to McKinney. We lived in McKinney for about 5 years in the late 1990's. A couple of our old friends live in or around McKinney. We took the opportunity to have dinner one night in McKinney on the Historic Town Square.

  1. Doug and Ann, Really enjoying your blog! Sure makes me want to fire up the Ventana and hit the road. Have had it in the body and paint shop, and taken it to Freightliner to have all the fluids and wires etc checked. Also, got a new tow car, and transferred the airbags and connected the blue ox. Tomorrow, off to DMV to get the new title and registration. Right now, I'm ready, willing and able, but have no trips planned. Keep your post coming!!! Linda Kane
