Day 25 was a travel day, driving from Noel & Mike’s house to an RV Park in Fort Stockton, TX. It was 92 degrees when we arrived about 4pm. Hot! But with the low humidity, it didn’t feel as hot as Humble, TX. It had an electrical hookup, a pool, a shower, and decent wi-fi.…

The drive was rainy and nasty until we were within an hour or…
