Return to Rainbow’s End
We ended our stay at the Conroe Condo, and thankfully returned to our trailer at Lake Conroe Thousand Trails. My folks installed themselves in a local West Bestern. We pretty much spent the weekend eating at local restaurants.
The End of the Rainbow
When we left Van Nuys, our stated destination was Rainbow’s End, the headquarters park of the Escapees RV Club. Yesterday, we arrived at the end of the rainbow.

Rubbery eggs inside microwaved tortillas. [...]
We are Entrucked!!!!
Growly the truck was returned to us this evening, after the following repairs:
Bouncing Around Fort Stockton
While waiting for the truck to be fixed, we’ve been trying to extract what entertainment value we could from our extended stay in Fort Stockton, TX. It’s not a bad place, but not a busy, bustling one either.
Sittin’ in Fort Stockton, TX
Into every life a little rain must fall. For full time RVers this usually manifests itself as mechanical difficulties.
Central Time (3/13/10)
Having gotten the mail, and picked up some clothing at the alteration shop, it was time to move on. We bailed on the site in El Paso two days early. This makes our per-night cost be $25. Five dollars per night over our target. Oh well.
