14/03: Whacko in Waco

Today's drive was a little longer than expected. About 10 minutes into the drive we were to turn left and Ed said "now what" ... there was a "road closed" sign across the road we were turning onto. It looked like a lane was open but as we didn't see any traffic on the road we decided we didn't want to take the chance of the road being actually closed a couple of miles down the road. Thank goodness for GPSs and mapping programs. As Ed continued driving straight I found us a new route. A little longer but it got us to Waco. The scenery was nice and the traffic light so all was good.
We were driving thru a small town when this building caught my attention. The building is a court house with an eagle on the roof..
Tonight's stop is in Waco Texas at the I-35 RV park just off, you guessed correctly, highway 35 just north of Waco. A new bridge is being built about a mile south of the park and the construction makes it a little challenging to get to the park. During check in, Ed was told about Evie, the official greeter, and Buba, homeland security. They weren't visible when we came in but were expected shortly.
That's Evie between Zaph and myself. Apparently, Evie, a great dane, still has a bit of growing to do. Zaph was a bit intimidated by her but soon was ready to play.
Buba likes to survey the park from the back of the golf cart. He's been bitten by a couple of small dogs so he doesn't leave the safety of his golf cart very often.
The park was larger than I expected plus it had a number of amenities that I didn't expect --- a golf driving range, trails, games room, cafe and a ....
pet wash. Zaph was happy to visit this platform as he doesn't read. Baths are not his favorite thing.
During our walk around the park I heard the definite clucking of hens .... thinking there was a pen with some chickens in it I was surprised when we came around the corner and saw free range chickens in front of us. Luckily Zaph didn't react. This pond seemed to be home to several ducks.
