We drove our coach 269 miles, about five hours of driving, from Marathon, Texas to Junction, Texas.

Our coach with the slides in, and the truck hooked up, ready to leave:

Paladin went straight down the steps, so I left the step cover open:

Our exit:

Our destination, Pecan Valley RV Park and Farm, nestled behind a pecan tree farm:

Chick-in:

Guided to our site by the owners:
