Aaron, Murphy, and I returned to Clear Lake Campground, located on the shore of Lavon Lake, just outside Dallas, Texas. We had spent two weeks here previously in May. This time, we were able to reserve a site on the lake’s shore. The site was very spacious and had a lovely view of the lake.
One thing we have found about camping in Texas during spring is the huge number of spiders! They were everywhere! They spun webs all over the trucks and the camper. There was one spider who starred in its own movie on one of our security cameras. Here are two screenshots I took from the security camera.
We also experienced quite a few rainy days while we were there. Luckily, we did not have severe weather, which can be very prevalent in this area in the spring.
Most of our time was spent outside enjoying the water and the sunshine. Murphy swam quite often; he also watched the ducks swimming in “his” water.
I kept a chair by the water, so Murphy could swim for a long time and expend his very high energy. It is a challenge sometimes to wear him out. If we are at a campground where he can run, he is OK. But if we are somewhere that is crowded and there are a lot of other dogs, we have to get creative to keep him occupied. He loves to run and swim. And he has the energy levels to be able to do those activities for hours.
Our two weeks at Clear Lake were quite uneventful and very peaceful. After about two months camping around northern Texas, we decided we needed a change of scenery. Aaron was done with the new office setup for the time being, so we were once again free to explore unknown places. We dropped off the company truck he had been using, packed up, hitched up, and for the first time in almost two months, Aaron towed the Airstream out of Texas.
Next stop- Arkansas. This will be a new state on our journey.
