There’s Many A River that Waters the Land
We chose to split the trip from Castroville to Livingston into two sections, and found that there is a Thousand Trails membership campground just at the midpoint, here in Columbus, Texas. It’s called “Colorado River” and indeed, it’s on the banks of that river. Note that this is not the Colorado River that carved the Grand Canyon and watered the west, but that’s OK. As the song says, “There’s Many a River that Waters the Land.”
We’re encamped with the back of our trailer facing the river, although we can’t see it. We just see a grassy field and trees. That’s fine. Beats seeing the trailer that would otherwise be behind us.
Downtown Columbus held surprises. The town has a bunch of 1880′s buildings, a neat old courthouse, and a water tower shaped like a crenelated castle. Photos are at http://edgreenberg.smugmug.com/Architecture/Columbus-Texas/
I also got the truck it’s Texas inspection sticker.
All in all, a good drive on Monday, and a good stay on Tuesday, hopefully reprised on Wednesday and Thursday. We depart Friday for Conroe, Texas, and Passover in the Conroe Condo.
