What a difference a few days makes...

When we got to the Thousand Trails campground at Lake Tawakoni on Wednesday, we enjoyed driving and walking around and seeing the facilities.

After spending much of Thursday away from the campground, it has rained almost continuously, and, even more, it has rained "upstream" from us, causing the lake to rise quite a lot. We heard today that, even after the rain stops (predicted for tomorrow) the lake may continue to rise another couple of feet. We moved the bus from our "lake front" site to a site on the main road in the campground today, as we plan to leave tomorrow - we didn't really think there would be any issue with the site we were in, but the road we needed to take out from that site was getting close to having water flowing over it, so we thought the wise move was to get to a more secure location.

We also did laundry today at the activity center that we visited on Wednesday. A couple of pictures to see the difference from Wednesday to Sunday:

Wednesday: A view down from the activities center to the fishing pier - it came to land just by the tree on the right side of the picture. There was some kind of game court just past that yellow marker sign.

Sunday: A picture from the activity center. The horizontal railing of the fishing pier is just above the lake level and the water is covering that game court as well as some of the parking lot.

A more close-up view of the railings of the fishing pier just above lake level.

 Weather predictions are that the rain will be stopping, both here and in Gainesville, which is where we will be driving tomorrow, Lord willing!
