A Quick Stop – Where the Gulf Meets the Marsh “Mosquitos big enough to carry away a camper” was what we read about our next stop on a blog. While this may have been an exaggeration it wasn’t far off the mark. Sea Rim State Park is on the gulf but also sits on a…
We kept moving eastward, staying along the Gulf Coast and moved to another state park … Galveston Island State Park is a great place to enjoy the beach, the gulf, and the bay. The park’s 2000 acres are bordered by developed lands, but the park is an undeveloped barrier island habitat. It attracts a variety…
Imagine having a park just about to yourselves and getting to park on the shallow bay or in a forested area with a covered picnic area to block the wind/sun and you have Goose Island State Park. We stayed directly on the water and it was overcast and cool throughout our stay. The area…
We moved a little further south, dropping below San Antonio to a state park outside of the small town of Three Rivers. Welcome back to the heat and humidity! At the beginning of our stay we were feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandra out in the Pacific, pumping moisture across Texas, again. A cold front…
LADY BIRD JOHNSON MUNICIPAL PARK, FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS Our second stop in Texas Hill Country was at a great public (city) park. The park is right outside Fredericksburg in the heart of Hill Country, with all kinds of shopping and good restaurants. We are also close to some outstanding natural areas (including Enchanted Rock, which is just…
Our New Home Our next stop was at Buckhorn Lake Resort, an upscale RV Resort that is designed for big rigs and people who want to enjoy a lot of amenities. We picked this stop because we needed a place to receive mail, an Amazon order, and a part for our RV from Canada. It…
Our New Home For our next stop we stayed at another state park. (I told you we love state parks because they usually have large, paved/gravel, fairly level sites and have that country feel.) San Angelo State Park is on the shores of the O.C. Fisher Reservoir and next to the City of San…
Our New Home: Monahans Sandhills State Park We love state parks and they are always our first choice on where to stay while we are on the road. Monahans Sandhills State Park is a 3,840 acre state park near Odessa, Texas. It is right off the interstate but the campground is far enough away…
Hueco Tanks State Historic Site is located approximately 32 miles outside of El Paso. The park is about 860 acres. We had read about this site in a blog we follow and then we started researching it and found mixed reviews. (Some people were turned off by all the rules you have to follow.) However,…
On the Road with Don & Norma Continuing with our adventures, we learned that the saying “Everything is bigger in Texas” is quite true. Seems like we keep driving and never leave Texas. And lots of miles driven means more fuel stops. The picture above is our little RV at the pumps with the big…
