Day 142, Monday, March 9, 2026 - Pecan Valley RV Park & Farm, Junction, TX - 186.1 Miles, 5,256.3 Miles for the Trip.
56°F overnight, 71°F at noon on the road, 74°F for an afternoon walk at Pecan Valley, and the high for the day was 74°F.
A warmer night with heavy clouds at 7:00AM. After breakfast I finished packing up the trailer, read for a bit, and was out of the park around 9:30. Stopped at a Loves in Sonora ($2.89 with $.10/Gallon discount) and arrived at the park at 1:30. Greeted by name as I arrived and escorted to site 5, a full hookup pull through on gravel with a picnic table & fire ring (although there is a burn ban so no fires). $50.00 per night for 2 nights. 1" side to side correction and I had to raise the tongue 1/2". I didn't unhook since there isn't really anywhere to go. Pecan Vally is about 7 miles from Junction, and there isn't all that much in Junction anyway. I bought my usual bag of candied pecans & they arrived at my site before I finished hooking up the utilities. The chickens & goats are wandering the RV park.

The Guidos made our reservations for the Algonac rally in Algonac State Park in MI in September, and I made the reservations for the Dalewood Conservation campground in St Thomas, Ontario, our one night stop between the Algonac Rally & the Niagara Wine rally in Niagara Falls, Ontario. $76.00 per night Canadian which worked out to $56.20 US.
While there is a strong AT&T signal (4 bars) here at the park, it is unbearably slow so I dug out the Starlink Mini. The Mini shows 63.77Mbps down & 19.83Mbps up. While AT&T shows 104.34Mbps down & 24.27Mbps up, I don't believe it. It was so slow that I kept timing out on pages when making the reservations in Canada. I don't know if AT&T cheats on speed tests by Speedtest or not, but both tests were done with Speedtest on my laptop & no matter what it says, the Mini is much faster.
Maybe it was just a problem connecting to Canada, or temporary since now AT&T is working as expected.
I spent the afternoon sitting outside reading. I finished Dana Stabenow's Not The Ones Dead last night and started The Camp Bird Cafe by Chinie Miller. Miller's Bud Shumway series is not the best written one I've followed, but it is about an area of the west that I've visited and enjoy reading about.
Dinner was a Healthy Choice Sweet & Sour Chicken Bowl.
Until Next Time -
