Day 7 - El Paso, TX to Midland, TX

I used magnets that Jeff Fabrizio gave us to hang our wreath on the screen!

Our goal of going to Texas is to see Grandma Parker in Abilene and our former neighbors form Maryland in Aledo (near Ft. Worth). But since Texas is so BIG we can’t do it all in a day. Today we are driving half way and stopping in Midland, TX for the night. 

It was fairly easy cleaning up the wet lines and its so hot here they  dried out quickly too. The former owner left a handful of random hoses and parts in the RV and my dad sorted through them before the trip. Included is this sewer clean out attachment which is very handy. You can attach a hose to the side of it and open it on full blast and clean out the inside of the tank! Sounds gross but its very helpful! The campsites here are very big concrete pads. So we took advantage of the space and used our mini air compressor, courtesy of Bret Parker, to check and fill up all 12 tires! We were able to load the freshly washed Camry back on the tow dolly with ease.

The drive to Midland was simple. My back is doing better too. I haven’t taken any medication for it in a few days. Sherri Parker put together a back care kit for me before we left Mission Viejo and I’ve been using this icy hot roll on stuff thats been helping a lot. It was a really short drive today, we got into the park before the sun went down. This RV park is really in the middle of nowhere and we were glad we were only staying one night. The campground was really compact, with the sites right on top of one another. The whole campground was just dirt which made for pretty un-level sites. Our site specifically was pretty short so we were hanging out a little and the electrical box just barely reached. This time we plugged in electricity and water but didn’t bother with sewer. We weren’t super thrilled with this RV park so we just relaxed in the RV for the rest of the evening.
