Breathing Room

We didn't notice it until this afternoon, but we've been straightjacket camping for the last couple of months. We've been squeezing this big ol' moose into tight little spots for far too long. Today we changed all that and treated ourselves to some breathing room.

With a short travel day ahead of us, we took our time loading up and unwedging ourselves out of our spot next to the nudist. It was closing in on 11:00 when we left Buda and began our 120-mile trek back toward San Antonio then northwest into a fierce headwind. With the metroplex behind us the Texas terrain began to change. Actually, it became down right scenic!

Since we arrived in Texas on New Year's Eve we've been in search of a part of it that we actually like. Hill Country might just be it! The rolling tree-covered hills are just beginning to show signs of Spring. And the breeze (It's Texas. Of course, there's a breeze!) is strong but somehow softened in protected spots amongst the hills. One such spot is just off I-10 in north Kerrville. There you'll find Buckhorn Lake Resort, a gorgeous RV park with trees, grass, a creek, level sites and plenty of space.

We've called Buckhorn home since 1:30 this afternoon. And, so it will be for a week. It feels really good! We've shed that straightjacket and are loving the room. The people are friendly and we don't have to lie about our age. There's lots to see in these parts, and we are looking forward to exploring it all.

More later from Hill Country. For now, we're gonna take some time to get out and s-t-r-e-t-c-h!!!!!!!!!

ahh I bet it's so nice to be able to stretch out a bit! We don't go for the rows and rows of tin cans squeezed together either. Added to that the noise of that many folks so close by. Give us space, green trees, lots of natural surroundings and quiet.

Enjoy your stay in the Hill Country. It is also one of our favorite places in all of Texas.
