Thursday we spent over 12 hours from wake up getting to our new campsite - Potter' Creek Park at Canyon Lake, TX. The drive was pretty uneventful- except that we didn't quite avoid the Baton Rouge suburbia traffic. Why is it that 2 roads merging causes so many people to be so stupid? We sat in traffic coming into Baton Rouge- better yet, just for 10 miles where there are 2 merges onto I-12 at Denham Springs. We sat in that 10 miles of traffic a good 45 minutes and nothing was wrong- then we get past Denham Springs and sail through the rest of the morning traffic.
We arrived safely, got The Beast set up, the window shades on, the awning out and chairs set up- then we were ready to bring out our drinks and sit in the shade. What a night. Although this is another COE park, we are not on the water. Instead we are at a camp site across from the lake sites but have a nice view of it along with spying rights on the lake-front camp sites in front of us. Currently no one is at either of the sites in front of us, so our view is completely unrestricted, but since this is Memorial Day weekend and the park is sold out, I am sure that will change late tonight or tomorrow at the latest. The park is on a point on the northwest side of the lake and what appear to be expensive houses surround the rest, although we can't really see the whole lake. There is a beach but the water is down about 12 feet, so what would have been a camp site about 50 ft from the lake is now about 100 ft from the lake. Pictures and more info coming soon.
