Driving to Johnson City, Tx

Downtown Houston

Today was an extremely long day.  We awoke about  5:15 am after getting to sleep at midnight.  We broke camp and pulled out of Baton Rouge at 7:30 am arriving in Johnson City, Tx at 5 pm.  We stopped about every 2-3 hours to stretch our legs and about an hour in Sealy, Tx. for fuel and lunch. (this was at 2pm)  The route we took was I-10 west until we got to Columbus, Tx just west of Houston, and then we took 71 W through Austin and then 290 to Johnson City.  The trip was 476 miles.

We made reservations to stay at the Roadrunner RV Park in Johnson City.  After arriving and setting up our RV for the night we decided to ride around town to find some supper.  We discovered a treat!  The courthouse was on a square in the town center and we saw several cars parked at a local pub, the Pecan Street Brewery and Grill.  The hamburger was great, but they had a local band entertaining in the back room.  A few local cowboys and cowgirls were there to cheer the group on.  They were mostly all seniors and very well behaved and the band was great.  Linda and I stayed longer that we planned due to enjoying the preformance.
