We left the valley about ten this morning. One little "episode" at La Grange, TX with 13,000 bicylists. A Po Leese Man guided us off the main highway with our 40 foot motorhome and towed car onto a very narrow and not all that smooth little backroad to nowhere! We will not let this happen to us again. When a policeman changes our course in the future he had better be prepared to either come with us or send someone who knows with us until we are back on track. They make you leave the known roadway with no guidance whatsoever. I do not like a man (Butch) yelling in my ear about a situation neither of us can do anything about...so next time we will not move until we are confident of our course.

So now we are stopped for the night in Rockdale TX in a little RV Park called Hidden Valley. The owner was not here when we pulled in so this fella staggers over to help us get a spot. He did pretty well for no better than he could walk...or talk. Too much barleypop for him today!
