High of 91 today here in Laredo (86 right now), though here at the campground in my fav spot (nope, won't divulge which particular site, I want it available as possible when I show up; I even call ahead sometimes 
) there is *such* a sweet breeze, I can't understand why anyone would sit in their van all day on a hot blacktop parking lot up at the truck stops. That just increases your chance of feeling discouraged.
$18/night gets you your own site with water and electric, your own good shelter and picnic table, and access to either of two shower houses. One is much newer and nicer than the other. Locked entrance gate at night and each camper gets the combo to the gate lock if you come in late from dinner, etc.
You can also just pay the day use fee of $4 and can picnic and use the showers.
If you get an annual Texas State Park Pass from Texas Parks & Wildlife ( http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/parkinfo/passes/ ) you don't have to pay the day use fee at any Texas state park, and get a discount on a set amount of overnights. I got $9 off one night with this stay. You can reserve a spot online, too, if you think it will be a busy night or weekend at whichever Texas state park you choose to use.
There's another good one north of Dallas on Joe Pool Lake called Cedar Hill SP.

Any exp-o-diters who are in Laredo tomorrow are welcome to come celebrate Memorial Day with us at Lake Casa Blanca State Park. You can get a day pass cheap, if not planning to stay overnight.
Looks like there may be a few us getting together. Drive thru the 100 loop and look for a bunch of crazy looking people

I would love to, but it looks like I'm gone arrive late evening
Well, give a holler, either late evening or on Tues, to see what's happening if you'd like. You're more than welcome to join, even if there's only one of us here. Been a sweet steady breeze all day and all evening.

Managed to luck out with a load the delivered only 60 miles from the house. Decided to go home for the weekend. (A decision made much easier after getting predishpatched for a load Tuesday)
Went golfing with the son, nephew and father-in-law on Saturday. Had a wonderful family cookout yesterday, followed by an evening setting around a campfire last night. Been an unexpected relaxing time at home
Back out in the morning.
