COOPER'S OLD TIME PIT BBQ IN LLANO TEXAS (AND A PARK REVIEW)
Currently in Llano TX (Low 48 Currently Partly Cloudy 54)
Heading to Kerrville TX (Currently 54 Sunny High 64)
Consistently rated as one of the best BBQs in Texas you just had to know we would someday eat at Cooper's Old Time Pit BBQ in Llano. At Cooper's you order at the pit.
Bob has been craving some beef ribs and Cooper's did not disappoint. Jo said one of her bites tasted like prime rib. The pork ribs were good but a little tough and the brisket was good but we think we like Bill's BBQ in Kerrville better. We also got some peach cobbler which was really good.
While in Llano we stayed at Riverway RV Park that sits next to the Llano River.
Earlier this year flash flooding of the Llano River caused some havoc in Llano but this RV park was spared since up on a bluff overlooking the river. GPS brought us right to the park. The office staff was friendly. This is a Passport America park for 2 nights. The park roads and sites are gravel. We are in a long pull thru with a good line of sight for our roof mounted satellite dish. The hookups were convenient. ATT coverage was good for cellular at 4 bars and LTE was 3 bars.
We would stay again at this park. We depart today for Kerrville for the winter.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN - TO CISCO TEXAS (AND A PARK REVIEW)
Currently in Cisco TX (Low 62 Currently Cloudy 65)
Heading to Llano TX (Currently 72 Sunny Intervals; Humid High 83)
After 3 nights in Wichita Falls Texas we departed yesterday and headed to Cisco, also in Texas. We are staying at the RV Park associated with the Executive Inn in Cisco.
It was approximately 125 miles and man was it nice to be on better roads after our usual experience with rough roads in Oklahoma. To put it into perspective we were on some Texas County Roads yesterday that were better than I-44 in Oklahoma and we paid a lot of money in tolls for the privilege of loosening some fillings. This is the route we took.
We stayed hooked up last night. Executive Inn RV Park is OK for an overnight stay. We were in a long pull thru on asphalt that had a good line of sight for our roof mounted satellite dish. We only used electricity. ATT service was good so overall we were happy. Here is the Lifestyle and truck.
We are heading to Llano Texas today for some good Texas brisket at Coopers.

REVIEW OF WICHITA FALLS RV PARK IN WICHITA FALLS TEXAS
Currently in Wichita Falls TX (Low 50 Currently Sunny 57)
Heading to Cisco TX (Currently 50 Mostly Sunny; Pleasant High 83)
Wichita Falls RV Park is a nice park in Wichita Falls Texas. After the red mud and so so park in Oklahoma City it was great to be in a very long pull-thru that was a little wet but no more red mud. Our GPS devices brought us right to the park. The office staff was friendly and except for the sewer connection at a weird angle the hookups were convenient. The roads were gravel as were the sites. The patio with picnic table was concrete. ATT cellular was strong at 4-5 bars and ATT 4g was real good at a consistent 3 bars and about 10Mbps. Here is the Lifestyle from the front.

CATCHING UP - PRECIOUS MOMENTS CHAPEL IN CARTHAGE MISSOURI
Currently in Wichita Falls TX (Low 50 Plenty of Sunshine High 77)
Catching up on our recent tour of the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage Missouri which was incredible.
The Chapel has often been described as “America’s Sistine Chapel” as an artful representation of Michelangelo’s own Sistine Chapel in Rome. Here is a photo from their website.
Tours for the Chapel are free and the accompanying grounds include an Visitor Center with Gift Shop, Royal Cafe and gardens adorned with bronze statues and fountains. The Visitor Center houses the world’s largest Precious Moments Gift Shop, as well as exclusive figurines. Here are some of the photos we took. You had to know if there was an RV related scene we would find it.
The visitors center was already decorated for Christmas.
The Chapel from a distance along the walkway.
The murals in the Chapel were amazing.
Precious Moments has long been on our bucket list so it was good to finally visit.

REVIEW OF COACHLIGHT RV PARK IN CARTHAGE MISSOURI
Currently in Carthage MO (Low 40 Mostly Cloudy Currently 46)
Heading to Tulsa OK (Currently 48 Partly Sunny High 72)
After a couple nights in Carthage Missouri we depart today for Tulsa.
While in Carthage we stayed at Coachlight RV Park.
The park was an easy exit from I-49 and our GPS worked great. The office staff was friendly and we were placed in a long pull thru. The hookups were convenient and we had a good line of sight for our roof mounted dish. ATT cellular signal was good at 3-4 bars and 4G LTE also came in at 3-4 bars. The park had free WiFi which was pretty good. Here is the Lifestyle from the front.

PARK REVIEW AND A GREAT FOODIE FIND
Currently in Hillsdale KS (Low 65 Clouds Currently 68)
Heading to Belton MO (Currently 61 Fog then Mostly Cloudy; Humid High 77)
We really enjoyed our stay at Hillsdale State Park near Paola Kansas. We are in the newest campground, Sunflower, and to us it is a really nice campground. The roads are asphalt and the sites are concrete with a concrete patio. We are in a long curved pull-thru with convenient hookups. Since it is a new campground there were no trees so we had no worries about our roof mounted satellite dish. There is a lot of room between sites. ATT cellular was pretty good at 2-3 bars. ATT 4g was kinda hit and miss. Sometimes it would be great and sometimes almost nonexistent. There is no park Wifi so we were dependent on ATT. If in the area we would stay here again. Here is the Lifestyle from the side since a curved pull-thru.
To the right.
To the left.
We didn't have a water view from our site but a few backins did have a view of Hillsdale Lake.
We may be back in the area if only to eat at a great foodie find, Beethoven's #9, a German-Italian restaurant in nearby Paola Kansas recommended by Jo's niece and her husband.
A lot of times at a new restaurant we get a couple of dishes and split them. We decided on jagerschnitzel with a mushroom cream gravy and beef stroganoff with red cabbage, warm potato salad and spatzkle as our sides.
Everything was wonderful as were the desserts that we took to go. A definite must visit whenever we are in the area for sure. Jo's niece and her husband like it so much they are moving closer early next year LOL
We depart today back to Belton Missouri for a couple weeks.
