We had great plans to enjoy the music scene in Austin while we were here. Our schedule allowed us 4 days in Austin, however after waking to freezing temperatures and a forecast of even lower temperatures to come we decided to move on. (Yes, as mentioned before, RVers have to be able to change plans on the fly to avoid damages and uncomfortable situations!
Where else in the Lone Star State could we go to avoid the below freezing temperatures. Somewhere where there is no “hard freeze” warning. Galveston!
We really liked the KOA in Austin and if we can, we will try to come back this way and stay again.
The journey from Austin to Galveston offers up a blend of interesting facts and even some quirky info that of course I’m going to offer up! The landscape of central Texas is hilly, with some forests and a few charming towns such as Fredericksburg. As we ventured southward the terrain gradually flattened as we approached the Gulf Coast.
Here’s my quirky fact of the day, the Texas BBQ was birthed in Lockhart TX and evolved from the smoked meats of the German and Czech immigrants in who poured into the area in the 1800’s.
