Davis Mountain RV Park

March 2, 2021 / / 0 Comments

We arrived at this very nice RV Park in Fort Davis, TX. Simple park with full hookups for $25/day. We have a nice view out the back of the mountain range. That’s right, mountain range. We did not know Texas had mountains. We are at 5,200 feet above sea level. The temperatures are nice, in the 70’s and the humidity is much lower. Buster and Pam are fantastic hosts. A great location as a base to see the area. Big Bend, Marfa, Alpine, McDonald Observatory and so much more.

We also drove the 75 mile Scenic Loop through the mountains. Unfortunately, the McDonald Observatory was closed, but we saw a pack of wild Javelinas (pigs).

Medina River Winery

Pam and I stayed here overnight though Harvest Hosts. What a great place. We had a very nice wine tasting with Ken. He really taught us about how the wines are produced and a lot about wine making overall. Highly recommend stopping in or staying the night. We got a tour of the wine production and Ken let us sample a wine right out of the barrel. Sat outside and enjoyed a bottle of wine to end the night.

Diving North – Pam Takes the Wheel

It is finally time to start heading North. Yesterday we washed the rig. Top to bottom. Really liked Long Island Village. Great spot and great neighbors all around.
Pam took the wheel for the first time. Did a great job driving for over an hour.

Save the Turtles

February 18, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The turtles are having big problems with the cold weather / water. They get “Cold Stunned” and can not move. Turtles are in danger of drowning. At this point over 4,500 turtles were saved and taken to the sanctuary. Pam tried to to volunteer, but they had too many. We have see people on the shore lines looking for turtles.
