UPDATE FROM AN EVACUEE!!!
Just got home (San Antonio) The R2 family was camping at Buescher State Park. Went down the road (12 miles) to Bastrop State Park about 3 this afternoon to go swimming. Stayed about 30 minutes until that entire park was evacuated due to severe fire less than a mile from the park. We flew down Hwy 71 to Buescher. It was still open but under a fire watch. About 5:00 they gave us the order to leave Buescher State Park. We packed up, hooked up the RV and was outta there by 6:00.
But where to go? We could not go back Hwy. 71 towards Austin. That highway was closed. He travelled down FM 95 to IH 10. Then over to San Antonio. And towing a n RV with 30-40 mph cross winds gusts?
Fun.
Anyway. I’m glad to report that we were all safely evacuated and are now home.
FM 95 is KKMJ, Majic 95. It's soft rock. Even if you could travel on a radio station, wouldn't blues have been more appropriate?
I guess Texas is a whole 'nuther planet.
(Glad to hear you're safe. Keep on FReepin'.)
Full Disclosure: did the strong winds mess up your gas mileage?
WOW Glad you and your family are okay! I was just throught there on 71 ast week going to Austin from Houston. Its pretty dry. Prayers up for everyone!
Amen.
