We all need a break from time to time and I am taking mine. I’m visiting new friends in Texas. They are Hoosiers who spend at least part of each winter in Rockport, a city between Corpus Christi and the Gulf of Mexico.
The first challenge in vacationing here is the travel. I came south pulling a travel trailer and it took nearly 20 hours. Despite favorable speed limits of 70 miles per hour and even 75 mph inside Texas, it takes a while to get here. Trailers don’t go as quickly as automobiles that have nothing to pull. Fuel runs low more quickly when you drive a truck pulling weight, even a light trailer.
Weather can also be a factor. I hoped for no freezing rain. Thankfully, it stayed above freezing the evening before I traveled. But freezing fog glazed tree branches and twigs. It had evergreens bowing in temporary submission beneath a layer of ice. It was overcast all day, but if the sun had been out the sparkle and glare would have been wonderful and merciless.
