Today we put the Navion into Drive and headed west again. We made it ALLLL the way (LOL) to Del Rio, Texas. That's about 140 miles. The drive was easy and pretty, as we got to see the trees gradually getting shorter, and the prickly pear cactus taking over the undergrowth.
Del Rio is right on the border between Texas and Mexico. Its main geographic feature is Lake Amistad, a lake created by a dam on the Rio Grande River. We are camped at Holiday Trave-L-Park, which .. isn't really like a "real" Holiday Trav-L-Park. This one has potted roads and unlevel sites with grass growing through the gravel. We were able to get level, only after being moved to a second site, and driving up onto all the levelers we have.

I'm guessing that you didn't spend another night at the "Holiday Trsv-L Park"?
ReplyDeleteI recall hearing all about Del Rio, Texas, during my misspent youth. Radio stations here in Dallas shut down at dark, but a zillion watt powerhouse broadcast from Del Rio, with its transmitter just across the river. The played rock n' roll, and they sold religious artifacts by the truckload. My mother hated for me to listen to it, and I think it was all probably illegal. What memories.
ReplyDeleteOops. Forgot to sign that last post. It's from Lynell.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you guessed right!
ReplyDeleteLynell, LOL yeah.. they still talk about that radio station in Del Rio. I think that it's a point of pride!
