"Honey, It's wet outside!"

We're having very wet weather in Texas - though they are probably having more rainfall in the Dallas area, we are getting our share of rain, and I guess we may be getting runoff, certainly from areas north of us. As a result, Lake Tawakoni is at capacity, and water is coming up in the campground.

We got up this morning to see that the sites on the loop across from us were under water.

Looking out the front windshield of the bus. It is hard to see, but right in the middle is a picnic table that is at what used to be a campsite.

Looking up the road, the water was coming up behind the motor home that was up from us.

Soon enough, the campground folks came by to let us know that the power in our section would be going out (I think the transformer was about to be flooded) and they encouraged us to leave. We thought about driving out toward Lake Texoma as we need to be in Gainesville by Tuesday morning, but we had some difficulty getting the power cord to stow, so we decided to try to find another site in this campground.

Unfortunately, many other rigs were also looking for higher ground, and since Miss Doozie is so long, we had some difficulty finding a spot that was large enough for us to not only park in, but also to get into... we almost had a disaster as the front driver-side tire went off the road as I was trying to back into a spot...

Ditch carved by our front wheel

Miss Doozie's front tire got deep into the mud!

Thankfully, we avoided hitting the tree *and* got back onto the hard surface.

We finally found a site that seems to be on reasonably higher ground (or we hope so!) and had sufficient road surface across from us to allow us to get into the spot.

We pretty much have a lake front site now. We're keeping an eye out on how much the lake comes up to those rigs across from us - we may need to move on out of here too!
