Cloudy, Windy, Steamy Texas

May 10, 2010
Livingston, TX

We've had a nice and quiet stay here at Escapees HQ in Livingston, TX. The weather's been sauna-like, with lots of low clouds moving through, pushed along by relatively brisk winds. Today, we took a ride in the "East Texas Piney Woods", checking out Lake Livingston which is actually a reservoir (largest solely within Texas) for Houston's drinking water. The area reminded us of the back roads in north-central Alabama, sparsely populated with lots of brick houses.

We ended up looping toward Livingston itself, stopping at the Wally World, resisting the temptation to take pictures of the patrons to post on the Internet, and picking up a few things we needed (and - of course - a few we didn't know we needed). This afternoon, we'll relax a bit and do some of the prep work for tomorrow's travel to New Orleans.
