College Station, home of Texas A & M University

Location, College Station, TX

We left Fredericksburg on Sunday and drove east on Hwy 290 to Johnson City and then north on Hwy 281 to Evant before turning east on Hwy 84 to Waco, TX and the Riverview RV Park on the southeast side.

It was a little disconcerting to drive the road to the RV park as there was water standing everywhere from all the rain the week before. It was very cold when we arrived so I rushed through the setup.

We drove back to town and through the Baylor University campus where our daughter-in-law Diane went to college. It is a very nice campus.

We were close to down town so Clyda suggested we go to the original Dr Pepper bottling plant. I thought it wasn’t open on Sunday but people were going in so we did also. For a $5 fee you can do a self guided tour of the old plant. Afterwards we had a fountain Dr Pepper in the little refreshment area. I think there was more syrup in this drink than normally found in a can of Dr Pepper as it was quit good.



On Monday morning we drove north to Greenville. The Temperature stayed in the 30’s all day. We parked in Bill and Marilyn’s driveway and partook of their hospitality for the next three days. We always enjoy spending time with them.


The temperatures at night were 28-29 degrees and in the 40’s during the day. We kept a small electric heater on most of the day in the RV so it wouldn’t be so cold when we went to bed at night.

Still snow in the neighbors yard this morning. It is what's left from the 10.5 inches last week.

This morning we drove back south to College Station where we will be for 3 days. College Station is the home of Texas A & M University and also the George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library. We will visit it tomorrow.
