Squatting at the Potter’s

Well, we left our truck stop after about six hours of shitty, broken sleep. Who knew? Evidently big loud trucks come in and out all night and keep waking you up. Last time we will consider that an option!

Driving through Texas during the early morning hours was actually quite enjoyable for both of us. We had our coffee cups in hand and the sunrise was spectacular. We pulled into Abilene Texas with intentions to visit the Air Force Base where my dad was stationed, only to find out that the aircraft museum tours were closed on weekends. Really?… even Memorial day weekend? 🤬

Continued south with our destination being Canyon Lake. On the way we fell in love with Johnson City. Home of LBJ. Unfortunately, recreational water would be quite a drive, so a no go! Took our time and checked out several other little communities before arriving in Canyon Lake.

Tanya (former Healdsburg officer) and Steve Potter are currently building a new home in Canyon Lake. They were gracious enough to allow us to camp in the driveway of their unfinished home. The canyon behind their home is gorgeous! We were visited by a fox and deer. They have a lovely community of homes and several homeowners gave us local tips and welcomed us. We were even invited to a little street party.

Can’t wait to check out the lake and surrounding area tomorrow!Lue lisää
