The Windy City--and it's not Chicago

We got to Grapevine, Tx. last Monday, April 5th. It was another long day of driving, 380 miles.

I have 2 first cousins in the area. We are at the Vines Campground in Grapevine. It is the most beautiful park so far. Too bad it is way down in Texas. It is a little spendy, but the best park we've seen. I think it costs more because we are the closet to the Fort Worth/Dallas area. It is the first park that doesn't have a swimming pool or hot tub, but still worth the money. There are alot of trees and it is right on the shores of Lake Grapevine. It has been voted the best mid-size park in Texas. I can see why. Since we have been here it has been very windy. All of west Texas is windy, windy, windy.

The whole area of Fort Worth/Dallas/Southlake/Grapevine/Arlington and Plano is called the Metroplex. If you aren't from the area, you would think it is one large city. In a few years they except a population of 6 million people. Years ago, there was 30 miles of empty land between Fort Worth and Dallas.

There are alot of ducks wandering all over. These were eating right out of Denny's hand.

Also lots of geese

The only thing wrong with the park was the concrete pad we were on was very uneven. Most pads or gravel areas are fairly level so you don't have to do too much leveling. This was the most Denny has ever had to do. He doesn't think he could have done it if we had the old RV that you had to drive up on blocks to level. This RV has automatic levelers.

You can see by the next 2 pictures how much we had to level. Notice how uneven the 2 hydraulic levelers are in the back.

Also in the front

This picture was taken from outside our front door. There is alot of boat morage on the other side. There is a spot for people here to put their boats in the water.

This is our RV-what a life!
