2025-6-21 Hord's Creek COE 1st Week

We are all settled in at Hords Creek COE. Elaine and I have sites with shelters on the water.

Wildlife is more than friendly. This little lady walked right up to me in my site.

Not a great photo but this bird put on quite a show. In addition to being very vocal, it raised its wings and tail feathers with every round of song and turned a quarter round each time. Looked like a mating dance but there was not a other similar bird around.

Morgan made biscuits, eggs, and bacon with a little help with the convection oven.

View out the screen of Elaine's shelter.

Views of the shelters from the dock next to me. You can see my RV in the second picture.

Looking from one dock to the other. They are floating and bridge is heavy enough to weigh one side down until you step on the raft part. The other dock has a rail around it.

Lovely sunset. Mornings are cool in the low to mid 70s. Afternoons are low to mid 90s but there is a strong breeze.

Elaine cooking breakfast on her flat grill and ninja air fryer.

Lovely to sit outside to eat. Mosquitos and flies have not been a problem.

2025-6-22 Fun Places in Coleman TX

Coleman has some fun places to visit that have been around for a while.

First is Owl Drugstore. It's rather unique for a Drugstore. Located downtown on Commercial Avenue, Owl is the second-oldest drugstore still in operation in the state. It opened in 1923 and has operated continuously.

One of the unique features is the old fashioned soda fountain.

I addition to being a full service drug store, they carry a lot of different merchandise. They even had a bridal registry.

One of the owners was a huge Elvis fan so there is a lot of memorabilia to see and they don't.ind pictures.

There was a very interesting article about a group ofical women who meet several mornings a week for coffee and have done so for over 50 years.

Another place not to be missed is Rancho Pizzeria.

They have wood fired pizza gourmet type pizza....

...which is hand tossed.

We had dinner there with just a few friends. Be aware that the sausage pizza and the carne pizza even without the peppers are a bit spicy.

2025-6-19 Heading to Hords Creek COE

Stopped at Walmart to do a grocery pickup and then picked up my granddaughter Morgan to get on the road by 10. About a 4 hour road trip and a stop for lunch would get us there about 3 which check-in time. Some COE parks are hardcore about early check-in.

Great site.

Elaine is next to me.

Morgan was worn out after set up.

Morning wild life. Life is good.
