Folks, we arrived in Austin Friday afternoon and went to visit the Sportsmobile factory with Jean. He had set up this visit. We got there just before 5pm and as they were closing soon we did not get a whole lot of time to visit. What we did see was impressive. Afterwards we went looking for a camp spot so we could visit Austin and what we eventually found was another paradise. Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Basically you take Robert E. Lee road off of Barton Springs Rd. and go into the first parking lot next to the ball field. Behind the ball field is a perfect spot for a couple Westys. We set up and have been there not since. Swimming at Barton Springs in the pool for $3 or in the creek for free. Showers in the swim pool change room, toilets in the park. A short walk to town or take the bus. What more could one ask for ? Friday evening we saw a couple music shows and the one at Threadgills, South Austin Jug Band, was the best. Threadgills is very famous for having top notch entertainment ! The weather has been warm and as perfect as one could ask for. And, Austin is one fine city as we have discovered. Anyways, not much time to write more now but will post a few pics and then I think we are heading North and eventually will meet up with Jonathan in Ashville, NC. OH, one last thing, I posted some pics to my last two Blog entrys that I did not have time to post when I posted the messages, so go have a look.
