The nice fella we are renting from gifted us an extra day with our RV, so we were able to spend all of Saturday getting prepared for this trip. We got her from a place in Liberty Hill, which I don’t think I had ever actually been to before. In my mind, it was a sleepy little country town, but I clearly had forgotten all about Austin Sprawl. Making a left turn into 5pm traffic as my first experience driving this beast was a harrowing experience.

But with the help of my trusty co-pilot, Dory, we made it home and got her packed, and we are leaving in just a few minutes. First stop: Lubbock.
