We left Waco around 8:30am under cloudy skies, heading south to Hill Country and the next campsite in Fredericksburg, TX. It’s fairly flat around Waco but the further south we went, it became hilly and covered with scrub trees that must be a type of evergreen. We saw ranches with high fences, too with herds of what we learned later, are small antelope. I read they raise them for hunting.
Many of the ranches are also wineries, we must have seen dozens of them. It’s very picturesque area and I now know why it’s considered the most beautiful area of Texas.
The sun came out mid-morning and stayed out the rest of the drive. GPS took us off the interstate and onto some pretty narrow farm roads – all paved and in good condition but Ron had to keep both hands on the wheel to stay within the lines.
We arrived at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal RV complex around 12:00n CT. It’s a small park located at the edge of Fredericksburg and next to the county airport, a golf course, and county park complex. Truly lovely! The campsites are small, and Ron had to back in but he’s getting good at this rv stuff.
After we set up our camper, we took Justice up to the dog park adjacent to the campgrounds and the airport. The everything is bigger in Texas definitely rings true with the size of this dog park – it’s the largest dog park I’ve ever been to. There were other dogs there, all younger than Justice, who ran up to greet him and asking him to play. Justice was being grouchy bear and ignoring them, but he almost started to play once with a white dog with blue eyes who was playing in a mud puddle. I think he is tired from the drive.
There was a special fly-in today at the Airport with Santa arriving by helicopter. We didn’t see Santa land, but it’s really neat to see the planes landing and taking off.
Everyone is very friendly here and we met another Airstream couple, Deb & Steve, who are from Ohio! They are spending a month here before heading to South Padre Island on the Gulf to spend the rest of their winter.
The weather was so nice, we got out the Blackstone griddle and fixed a couple of fajitas. The park has great Wifi, cable TV, and full hookups, we are in the lap of luxury! This area has some historical sites and museums we plan to visit tomorrow.
