Clash of the Titans Weekend

Hope everyone's had a good Thanksgivings Day and hope that you've not OD'd on bird! The weather down heah in Tejas was just marvelous over the holiday, so we decided that we needed to get outta town for a quick three day sojourn to blow a little stink off.

Alas, I waited too long to book reservations at nearby state parks (who knew that everyone else would wanna leave town over the holiday, heh heh). Luckily, I found a nifty KOA just east of town along I10. If you are ever RVing in the area, I recommend KOA Houston East. It's really nice, with grassy sites and paved roads. Neat and trim doesn't begin to describe this purdy place.

The pool was actually open! A nice, sunny spot.

There's a nice green area for goofin' off.

As always, there's Kabins for them's without RVs.

Pleasant RV sites!

While sitting having a sip of wine Friday evening, I noticed that there was the sound of engines revving in the distance. I inquired at the KOA office and was advised there was a drag strip a few minutes away. So, on Saturday, we enjoyed something called "The clash of the Titans". Seems that this was the championship for this type of drag racing. There were professional teams and amateurs with outrageous Mustangs, Camaros, and other cars making all kinds of racket! What fun!

This guy was a winner.

I forgot my camera, so these pictures are from the following websites. Feel free to visit them!
