Searching for Propane in Texas

After a great two days of settling into our site at LYJO, things began to fall apart. We knew that freezing overnight temperatures were predicted, but we were not prepared. Our propane supply was low, and it was forecast to be below freezing for two nights, so we had to conserve. Our little electric heater could not keep up, and it was so very, very cold in the RV overnight.

We knew we had to get propane the next morning, but it was Sunday, and most places were closed. I called and found a Tractor Supply about 45 minutes away, and we headed there. I almost cried when they told me that they had sold out 30 minutes before we arrived. We scrambled to find another place, even farther away. We were eventually successful but ended up driving 154 miles altogether. What was to have been a relaxing Sunday turned out to be anything but that.
