Day 18
Livingston, Tx
January 29, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Moin, Moin,
133 km von Beaurmont TX nach Livingston TX. Morgens um 7.00 Uhr 3°C. Mittags um 13.00 Uhr 24°C und zwölf Stunden Sonne, ein Traum. GPS und Strecke ist vielleicht noch ein Wort wert. Ich wurde auf eine Sandpiste geleitet auf der ich mein Rad 5,8 km weit schieben musste. Ich versuche es positiv zu sehen und sage, was für ein Abenteuer. Texas ist durchaus wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe, eine Ranch an der anderen mit Kühen und vor allem Pferden. Allerdings ist es teilweise immer noch sehr sumpfig, wie bisher auch. Heute ist dann auch das passiert wovon ich schon so viel gelesen habe und ich auch ständig darauf warte. Eben in diesem einen Moment habe ich nicht darauf geachtet. Ich wurde angegriffen. Eine kleine, verfilzte Promenadenmischung hat versucht mich zu fressen. Er kam ohne Kleffen angeschossen, deshalb habe ich ihn auch erst bemerkt als er schon versucht hat mir in die Hacken zu beißen. Für den Kleinen war ich aber zu groß und zu schnell. Ich hoffe, wenn sie größer werden bin ich wachsamer.
Essen gabs im „Shrimp Boat Manny´s“ www.shrimpboatmannys.com/ zu Gumbo und Crawfish

It's taken a while, but we're figuring out how to live this way. Big milestone today. Our outdoor camp setup is coming together. We now have a mat and a tarp.

Day 27
Coldspring, TX - New Adventure RV Park
March 12, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We are traveling the back roads of East Texas and have found a unique campground. It's full name tells it all - New Adventure RV Park & Horse Motel. Yes, " Horse Hotel". For our larger four legged friends, there are pens with covered stalls, and a fenced pasture. The campground is adjacent to the Sam Houston National Forest where there are 163,000 acres available for unlimited riding.

Our stay at this location spans 5 days. The longer stay is due to this week being Spring Break for the entire Texas school system. Finding available camping spots during this time is virtually impossible. So, we'll are staying put for the duration.

In addition to the National Forest, the area is home to Lake Livingston. The lake, the third largest in the state, provides many recreational opportunities and is the primary water source for the city of Houston. To attest to it's largness, the lake is 7 miles across at it's widest point. The Lake was formed by construction of a 2.5 mile long earthen embankment dam across the Trinity River.. Water flow is controlled by a 12 gate concrete and steel spillway. What's unique about Lake Livingston is that it was not built for the purpose of flood control. What water comes in, goes out.

Doesn't every Dam need a liquor store? See photo below!Read more

Day 25
Livingston, TX - Rainbow's End RV Park
March 10, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Another "why are we here place" since there is not much to say about Livingston, TX. However, there is a reason for being here. Specifically, we are going to get our motorhome weighed.

Weight, specifically weight distribution is very important to RV safety. The campground where we are staying is home to the Escapees RV Club (we're not members) which offers a program called, Smart Weigh (available to anyone). We have an appointment.

For some reason 5,000 live in the town of Livingston. The main attraction here is a Texas Department of Justice state prison that happens to be home to the Texas death row. If this doesn't draw your attention to Livingston, there are 500 Native Americans housed on the Alabama Cousharrac Indian Reservation and the obligatory casino.

Being only 75 Miles from Houston practically makes Livingston a suburb, which might make Livingston attractive to some. Everyone has to live somewhere!Read more
