After we crossed the Texas State Line, the rain was coming down sideways & we could barely see 20 ft in front of us. Unbelievably scary! In hind-sight, we should have pulled over into a parking lot & cozied up to a solid building on the opposite side that the wind was coming from. But we radioed back & forth & decided to continue – surely we’d be out of the storm in minutes. MAYBE 20 minutes later the deluge slacked up & only hit us in spurts the rest of the way to Waco. We passed by several accident scenes, one with people looking over the side of a bridge (YIKES!). We were so glad to get to the campground without being involved in an accident!
We had a pretty convenient campsite close to the office but this park was way too tight. Since we were on the end of a row, we at least had our passenger side (door side) without another camper exterior wall to look at.
