Jerry, Iwould rather leave early that camp out, BUT if you camp, Winnsboro has a city R.V. park in town at the park. Remember staying there when on the 10 day ride?

I went on line and found this address for the Police Dept:  501 S Main St, Winnsboro, TX 75494,  (903) 342-3654.  Does this agree with the information you have, Ken?
 
I have electronic maps and directions of the route we will be taking.  If you want them, please e-mail me and I will send it to you.  They are the same as the last tour with the exception of Atlanta to Dangerfield (which we never rode).  This one uses the bicycling route recommended by Google.
 
If there is anyone interested in going, but not cycling, Vicky would enjoy the companionship.

I have some bad news.  Our oldest cat is very sick, bone cancer.  Vicky feels she should stay with her, so unless our cat's condition changes, Vicky won't be coming on the tour.   It looks like it will be a self supported tour.
 
So, I tested out my new trailer carrying 25 lbs, riding 3 laps around White Rock lake today.  It pulls nicely, but I noticed the extra weight.

Good News!    I just checked with Texas State Parks on the use of my Annual Pass to get us bicyclists into the park.  Up to 6 bicyclists may come in under an Annual pass.  Here is what the website says:  "If entering by boat, bicycle, or on foot, the pass holder may be accompanied by as many as five additional guests who are entering by the same means as the pass holder."
 
This saves each of us from paying the $4 or $5 entrance fee for each park, although we must still pay for the campsite.

Man this gonna look like the campfire scene of Blazing Saddles.

Mapped out the routes on RideWithGPS for anyone else that has a GPS.
