Thought it was broke, but it wasn't

When I broke camp the other week at the urban campground and put the Windy back in covered storage, I noted that the jacks wouldn't completely retract. Had to listen to BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP for miles.

Today I took a broom handle to the offending jacks and they raised right on up. Tested 'em by lowering 'em down again and they then retracted without any more complaint. That isn't in the owner's manual!

Brenham in the Springtime

The day started out rainy, but soon it became sunny and cool.

The law southeast of the Brazos.

Le Fleurs. Bloobonnets!

A pleasant day for a drive amongst the Bloobonnets.

Ol' houses in Chappell Hill.

A store for us tourists.

Contented cows. At least for now.

A cotton gin. I have no idea what cotton has to do with gin.

A comfy room at the Brenham Holiday Inn Express. We got an upgrade since our room wasn't ready. Sometimes it pays to arrive early!

These guys were more contented after we left.

The Antique Rose Emporium in Independence.

The yellow brick road.

They let the old folks out today.

Hay St. Louis, we got an arch, too!

Roses and other plants for sale in the countryside.

After driving thru all the Bloobonnets, it was time for a picnic lunch at Washington on the Brazos State Park. Here's a picture of the Brazos River in the distance.

We visited some relatives in Indiananner.

Autumn in South Bend & Mishewauka

Touchdown Jesus faces the stadium at Notre Dame University

Autumn in South Bend.

My favorite car was for sale at this toy and doll store in Mishewauka. $14K.

The Studebaker Museum in South Bend, IN

These great looking cars are on display. The last one is my favorite. While we were driving around town, I saw demolition of the old Studebaker plant. A piece of automotive history has gone away.
