We moved on from Fort Stockton and are spending our third night in Kerrville which is about 50 miles north of San Antonio, Texas. We’re in a very nice RV park called Buckhorn Lake RV resort about 5 miles north of town. We have a lovely site that overlooks a small creek and pond area complete with turtles, catfish, red-winged blackbirds and other blackbirds that are similar to cowbirds. We’ve seen a totally red bird fly by and it could be a cardinal. Cool. Here’s what our site looks like:

Yesterday, we had the truck serviced at the Dodge dealer in town and that took a couple of hours. We walked down the main street for about 2 miles and went into a Walmart for a rest. The dealer sent a shuttle to give us a ride back which was nice after the long walk.
Today, we washed the outside of the trailer from top to bottom and buffed it up really well. We buffed up the truck after washing it yesterday and we’re all clean and shiny now.
We’ve met some very unique people here. Texans are friendly but not afraid to admit that they are red necks and think that anyone (like us) from a northern area are automatically Yankees with Yankee standards. We have some Californians in the site next to us and the lady keeps coming over to talk whenever we are outside for any length of time. Maybe her husband is chasing her out for a while!!
We’re heading down the road to Mathis tomorrow for an overnight stay. It is about 25 miles from Corpus Christi and the gulf coast. We’re bypassing San Antonio as it’s a huge city of 1.3 million people. We’ll continue on to Mission in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley and that’s about as far south as you can get in Texas.
