We left El Paso early this morning and drove steadily with three in our caravan to Fort Stockton, New Mexico for a quick overnight on the way to San Antonio. Very beautiful country mixed with vast open plains with little scenery for long stretches. Once in NM we saw a few pick-up trucks with big Muley bucks in the back (hunting season in NM is on). Very good looking deer hunting country in this area. I day dreamed as we drove along about how I 'd like to hunt the many low brush canyons and draws that looked like excellent deer habitat.
We finally arrived at Hilltop RV park in Fort Stockton. Pat, Mark, and I went in to town and had dinner while Betty and Patty stayed behind saying they weren't hungry (I have that effect on Betty some times).
We got another early start in the morning cold (near freezing) with a plan to get to San Antonio before dinner. As usual, when we pulled onto I-10 for this leg of our trip our headwind greeted us. Crossing over into West Texas brought really beautiful scenery with lots of hills, crappy mileage, and great views. Betty drove for a couple of hours and did very well in spite of the hilly terrain (I did OK too which surprises me).
We all arrived in San Antonio in the early evening and stayed for one night at a sleezy RV park near I-37 at Military Rd.. A nice place for a relaxing toddy after a long day on the road but not a place we wanted to spend a whole month. Pat found a much better park so we moved the next day (12/9). Thanks, Pat, for great research and some phone calls. You also negotiated a good monthly rate! ....DRW
