THOUSAND TRAILS LAKE TEXOMA, TX

October 2 – 7, 2010



Saturday we were off to the Thousand Trails Preserve at Lake Texoma which was new to us, and we were pleased to see it is one of the best TTN preserves we have visited.


Welcome to Lake Texoma



The weather here was such an improvement over that of the past few weeks, and we really appreciated it..We found a very nice site near the pool and family center, which were both open with the store and food service available. There is a beautiful adult pool and lounge down the road a’piece as well; and although it is called Lake Texoma, it is quite a way to the Lake itself. Sunday we found a Marina and the Pelican Landing Restaurant just a few miles away. The restaurant had a history of flooding at least five or six times and had been rebuilt each time. Why there should be flooding on a controlled reservoir is a mystery to me. 

On our way back to the preserve, however, we noticed a thumping in the left front and discovered a large lump in the left front tire of the PT Cruiser. The tread was separating and the tire was finished after only a year of service. We never did find out why it happened. An internet search found a Discount Tire shop in Denton, TX, and we made an appointment for Monday while I was tasked with putting on the dinky spare tire. No fun! Monday we had a new tire installed and lunch in Denton. 



Frisky bull?



On our way back from Denton we passed a field with some Long Horn cows so we had to stop to watch while one of the cows (bulls?) got pretty frisky.

 On Tuesday we learned that most of the campers were only out for the weekends and had gone home; somehow we found that a bit strange but I guess most people are working during the week and their kids are in school. Pretty good to be retired!

We managed to have a lunch at the Pelican Landing before heading to the COE Hickory Creek campground on Lewisville Lake near Dallas!

See’ya!
