When we originally put this itinerary together, a 5 hour drive didn’t seem like a long time. With a nasty rain storm, which meant we were driving about 10-15 mph under the speed limit, it got a lot longer.
The rain
But we really didn’t know how bad it would be until we were in it. We use an app called Radarscope, and sometimes it’s a guessing game to figure out which radar station you need to be looking at (Fort Stockton was under the Odessa/Midland radar).
But, as you can see from the radar map, eventually we continued driving SE while the storm went NE. Eventually, we saw blue skies. 🙂
We finally got to our destination around 4:30, which is about 2 hours later than planned. I have no pictures of traveling in San Antonio. Driving an RV through San Antonio is not for the fainthearted. It felt like we went 10 rounds in a boxing match before finally emerging as the winner.
Our destination
We are staying in a beautiful state park, and the sites are spacious.
We’ll be happy when the drive to Livingston is over. We definitely scheduled it too tight, we don’t like the 1-2 days here, then pick up and go kind of trip. Our next destination puts us a lot closer to the Houston Rodeo for Maren Morris.
Glad you made it. Rain in West Texas is no joke.
