DAY 3 – Tue Jan 4 -- Trip to Mustang Island 2011

We left Hidden Lakes at 10:45 a.m., crossed the Texas border at 11:10 and arrived in Fort Worth at 12:45. We are currently at McClain’s at Camping World and have gotten an estimate of a little over $600 for a new motor to fix the slides and jacks. They are not sure if the solenoids are good or not. If the whole system has to be replaced we are looking at approximately $2000. We told them to replace the motor, because it will be here Thursday and we can get back on the road. The only good thing we are getting out of this ordeal is free camping. However, in the long run I think it would have been cheaper to pay for camping spaces. We do have electric and water hook ups here; no cable, WIFI, or sewer. We are able to get 13 digital “air” channels without cable, so we are not totally without entertainment.

Wanda woke up with a sore throat, stuffed up nose, and cough this morning. She has been fairly puny today but is looking forward to a better tomorrow. We did enjoy an all you can eat soup, salad and bread meal at Applebee’s this afternoon. We just found out that our grandson, from Lubbock, is here in Fort Worth, so we are planning to have dinner with him tomorrow night and then will all go see “True Grit.”
