The 2021 Journey, Bonham State Park Campground, Texas
(Day 171 TN) 43°F. 6:30 am, overcast
Awake, dress in my fall blues, drive to the af-mart to fuel up and then drive east on US82. Although the day begins with a thick cloud cover and methinks this is going to be another day of gloomy shroud. Then, on the horizon, there appears to be a clearing of blue sky which slowly grows larger as I continue to travel east. Soon, it is completely blue overhead and I look back to the west and see the quickly fading cloud cover near the western horizon. Again, methinks, what a amazing change!
I then continue east on US 82, under the interstate in Sherman, Texas and on to Bonham, Texas where I turn south on SH 121 to Sam Rayburn Drive where I turn left and drive east on SH 56 for a few blocks, then turn right on SH 78 and drive south about a mile and a half to FM 271 where I turn left and drive about two miles to the entrance to the Bonham State Park.
