Back to Being Winter Texans

We left Brenda, AZ on 10/30 and moved on to Tucson where we stayed for 4 nights. On Monday, we continued west on I-10, making one night stops in Deming, NM, Van Horn, TX, and Fort Stockton, TX. The trip along I -10 was made more interesting because of the constant parade of NASCAR haulers, drivers’ motorcoaches and various other support and media equipment on their way from Texas to Phoenix for the races there on the weekend of 11/7. The drivers’ motorcoaches are unbelievable land yachts, all with custom paint jobs. Most were towing a pickup with a golf cart in the back. We got to see Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s motorcoach, which had a large enclosed trailer behind it with who knows what kind of “toys” inside. On Thursday, 11/6, we checked into Johnson Creek RV Resort in Ingram, TX...Texas hill country. This was a beautiful park built in a Pecan orchard with lots of open space. There were many deer and wild turkeys in the park. About ten miles down the road in the city of Kerrville, there was a Culver’s Frozen Custard, so we of course had to go there and indulge in some frozen custard. It’s about ten times better than the best ice cream you can eat! We always look forward to “Culver’s country” because its not available on the west coast. Today, 11/10 we arrived at Pioneer Beach RV Resort in Port Aransas on Mustang Island, where we will relax by the beach until 11/24 when we move on to our winter site on Baffin Bay.
