In celebration of a short day of driving we started a bit later at 0815. Heading out it was mostly suburbia until south of San Antonio. At that point the scenery became very flat and lifeless. A lot of the land was agricultural and the fields went on (literally) for miles. After we got south of Corpus Christi the agricultural land gave way to scrub. There was little sign of life, and this was reinforced by a roadside sign stating “next gas station 60 miles”
We made it to the RV park around 2:15 and first impressions are good, large sites not too close together. The temperature was 27C and quite windy. For the first time I noticed the effect of wind on the fuel consumption. The last couple of days the average was around 12.7 mpg, today after we turned south straight into the wind id dropped to 9.7 mpg. Finally coaxed it up to 10.5 by dropping the speed abit.
Had some issues with (what else) the water, but that can wait until tomorrow.
