October 22nd thru October 25th

      We left Anchorage early morning on the 22nd October, our good friend Betty gave us a ride to the airport. We flew to Seattle where we had a 4 hour lay over. Then on to Austin Texas, where the salesman we had bought our truck off was to pick us up. He was late arriving so we got to enjoy the heat and humidity of Austin in the early evening. After dropping Al off at his dealership we headed off for the Super 8 Motel that we stayed at for the evening. Got to our room in time to see the last half of the Presidential Debate.
        We left Austin and drove the 130 miles to Rice Tx where we had a 1.00 pm appointment to pick up our new Casita Travel Trailer. The guys hooking  up our trailer noticed that there was a problem with the electrical of our truck and trouble shooted the problem to the wiring on the camper shell.
      Our 1st night in the Casita was a beautiful Corps of Engineers Campground at Liberty Hills near Dawson. It was incredibly quiet there, we had a lovely site overlooking the lake, where we got see beautiful sunsets.
       On the 24th we drove into Waco to get the lighting on our camper shell corrected.
      We also discovered a few equipment problems with our Casita, so on the 25th we drove back to the factory and Casita corrected the problems. We met another Alaskan waiting to pick up his Casita; he was from Fairbanks.
       Up to now it seems as if we have been running around getting our equipment up to the way it should be. The rest of the time it seems we have been shopping getting the extra for the Casita to make life a little more comfortable.
          Sorry there arn't  any photos with this posting,  I will attempt to get some photos on the next posting
