WHERE ARE WE? Kickapoo Casino, Eagle Pass, Texas
NEXT DESTINATION? Carlsbad, New Mexico
We got up and got all the chores done around the Ponderosa in anticipation of leaving Magnolia Beach. We have made some good friends here and look forward to stopping here every chance we get. I stopped by the food truck and grabbed a breakfast burrito for $2.50 and we chatted for a while with the owner Trey and his wife Shannon. They are good people and we wish them well in their business on the beach. Sue made a wider area up front for Charlie to lay on and he seems to like it. We left Magnolia in the dust and after dumping and taking on water in Port Lavaca, we headed west!
Just outside Port Lavaca we spotted a tractor and a sprayer in the corn field. This would interest Harold so I grabbed a quick shot of it.
And all over the country side are the workings of the oil fields around here. My son Derek and my future SIL Gord know all about this stuff.
Here's where we are staying tonight.
When we arrived at the Kickapoo Casino, we parked in much the same place that we had parked last year when we were here. It is quite hot out today with the thermometer showing about 32C. Here is where we are parked. You can park in their campground for $15 for full service. If we had not just dumped today and paid $10, we would have done that. Maybe next time.
Our neighbour may be a bit seedy but we haven't seen anyone around it. He obviously came through Pierre South Dakota because his AC has been wiped off by a low bridge. His replacement isn't a lot better either.
We headed inside to see if we could get lucky like last time and win a buffet or two, but there were no promotions on at all. We left a donation of $20 and headed back to the Ponderosa for supper.
So that was how our day went today. It was a non eventful day on the road and that is the way we like them to be. We hope to make it to Carlsbad New Mexico tomorrow. Here is the view from our window today.
You had a good travel day and a nice night at the casino, Safe travels today.
ReplyDeleteKeep traveling safely, love staying at the casinos.
ReplyDeleteThat camper would look good behind our old ford, lol
ReplyDeleteYou made good time on a very warm day! 32C wow!
ReplyDeleteLove Charlie's window seat. You aren't worried about quick stops? We have to put a seatbelt harness on little lightweight Clemson or he falls on the floor. Sometimes even with the belt! LOL As Bill said above, we enjoy staying at the casinos too.
Charlie is right up against the windshield so he has no where to go in a quick stop except the window. He will be first on the scene of the accident as well lol
ReplyDeleteCharlie looks comfortable up there on the dash.
ReplyDeleteI always worry about low bridges and I'm much higher than your neighbour. Glad I'm not travelling on his roads!!!
Safe travels.
Casinos are always great places to stay, especially if they have good food or discounts. It does make it miserable when it is a hot night though with no hook ups!
