Camp Wood, Texas


 Chris:
We have had the best time biking to and around Camp Wood.  I was so happy to hear that the area was going to experience thunderstorms last night so we rented a darling little cabin for two nights.  Running water!  A shower!  A refrigerator!   A picnic table to use when the storm passed.


I met the greatest people at the Camp Wood Public Library.  This is volunteer Marianne Meixell who told me they remodeled their library two years ago and guess what!  They chose the same color scheme that we did in our library in Marcellus!  So of course I loved their fine taste in colors! 



Library volunteers John Baker and Marianne Meixell who gave us such a warm welcome and told me all about their library.  I continue to be amazed at the creativity and ingenuity of the people in these tiny little towns who are committed to the mission of libraries.


And just look at these fearless women from San Antonio who are in town for a weekend with their group RVing Women.  They belong to the Texas Ramblin’Roses chapter of this national organization.  A big group of women is staying at our campsite and they invited me to join them but alas, I have a husband along so was disinvited!  Pat Humble (left) and Colleen Phipps each drove big RVs for this gathering of women.  Colleen said “it doesn’t take brawn to drive an RV, it takes brains.  And we have brains!”

Camp Wood is another small Texas town with fascinating people to talk with.
