I took this shot just to show the closeness of the water in relation to the RV, I should have waited until the sun came out.... ah well.... Of course the RV isn't this dark inside, it's just way the picture turned out.

The chef cooking outdoors on the huge BBQ. The rack of ribs us large enough to feed 2 people comfortably, way too much to eat, and a terrific value.

We are on our way home. It takes about 4 hours and the majoritiy of that drive is along the Trinity river. This really doesn't do the river justice. I wish that I had taken more pictures showing just how large it is and also showing some white river rafters enjoying their exciting ride down the rapids.
