Once again SpongePod returned us to historic Goliad Texas and Goliad
State Park, for a weekend of fun and Easter egg hunting. Despite very
strong winds (20 to 30 mph with higher gusts), our Pod handled it very
well with the help of the recently added sway bar I'm sure. Going up was
really no problem with the wind at our backs mostly. However coming
home yesterday the headwind really was telling. Our usual 12 mpg dropped
to about 8 mpg. But at all times towing was very manageable and and the
Pod and TV handled the gusts as one unit. Anyway, we had lots of fun, but the camera in my Android phone let me down and all the pictures had a dark blue tone.  I salvaged a few by converting them to black and white, but Ansel Adams I am not, so I hope you enjoy. Mission Espiritu Santo at the park moved there in 1749.  Chapel in the mission.    One small issue was that when we got home the black water tank showed full even though I emptied both tanks before we left. We have had intermittent issues with false level indications on both tanks, but I made sure the trailer was level at the park and all was fine till we got back. Will check again in a day or so. ------------- 2011 R-177 "Sponge-Pod" 2011 F-150 XLT "Texas Edition" |

Unfortunately those indicators just don't work well... nice pics.

The pics bring back memories. My wife and I were there when we were fulltimers in the motor home. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |
