Livingston we have arrived!

We made it to Livingston Texas today with no problems what so ever. Since it was Sunday we decided to run straight through down town Huston. There was a fair amount of traffic and we went by an accident that had traffic in the other direction backed up a bit.

Once we hit Livingston and started the trek to the campgrounds we managed to pick one of the more scenic routes (read narrow winding road). We made it without incident. The check in lady was friendly and very helpful, especially when she found out this was our first visit to an Escapees park and we were here to become Texans. She handed us a cheat sheet outlining what we will need to have with us, what order to do things in and giving locations of the three stops we need to make.

After getting settled we decided to drive around the town and layout our route for Monday. First we need to get a vehicle inspection for each vehicle. At this point we are not sure what is involved, the only thing I have a doubt about is a stone chip we have in the jeeps windshield. It's been injected with a stone chip kit from Permatex but you can still see the little star in the windshield. Tomorrow will tell. Next stop is the Tax office for vehicle registration and to pay the difference in sales tax between what we originally paid in sales tax on the amount required by Texas. Final stop will be the Department of Public Safety. I believe Linda will only have to hand her Michigan drivers license over and get a new Texas class C License. I will need to have a class B non-CDL license to drive the coach and that requires a written and driving test.

We'll let you know how we make out.
