This town and surrounding area is a real gem. First of all, you are surrounded by mountains which you see in any direction you look. The RV park was one of the nicest I have ever seen (Sunny Acres). From the RV park you can go anyway you want and see lots of things. We traveled north to a National Park, Dripping Springs. Unfortunately it turned out to be a hiking trip and seeing as how I cannot hike, it was somewhat of a disappointment. We decided that seeing as how we couldn't do much here, we headed down some small [View Full Entry]

We moved from SA to Lampasas, TX to meet up with an old friend from my Vietnam days. Hadn't seen in some 38 years. We had a great visit, drank some beer, had lunch at a great German restaurant, and went to a Diamondback Snake Festival in Lometa, TX. Everything but the snake festival was my idea. The snake festival was my friend Ray's idea (ugh). Cold here. [View Full Entry]

San Antonio - what a delightful city. We visited the Alamo and the River Walk. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow a lot of sight seeing, but we did do some. The real reason for the visit to SA was to meet with an old friend from Kansas City, KS who winters in SA. Tom and I were together in Vietnam. [View Full Entry]

After leaving Pigeon Forge, TN, we traveled to Brownsville, TX where we stay for the winter at the Breezelake Campground. This is the second year for Breezelake. I love it. We stayed from Nov 10, 2008 to March 20, 2009. We like the area because of the mild weather and the many things to do in the area. If you like the beach, it is 15 miles away. Mexico is 5 miles away. There is a zoo, historical sites, birding areas, golfing (lots of golfing), Flea markets, and loads of places to eat out. If you like to keep busy, then [View Full Entry]

Well it is time to update this site. In November 2008, we visited Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN to see some friends and tour the area. How absolutely the mountains were. It was fall and the trees had turned color. What a glorious sight. We stayed a week before we headed for Breeze Lake Campground, Brownsville, TX. [View Full Entry]

I haven't provided entries here for a long time. My friend had a stroke in April 2008 and I spent a lot of time with him. Then he was diagnosed with degenerating discs in his neck and back. All of this was a saga of about 7 months. Then in November 2008, we drove back to Breezelake Campground in Brownsville, TX with Ray Carpenter (a friend). Then a tremendous tragedy struck - - - - Karl died December 17, 2008. This has not been a sterling year for me. I hope it gets better. [View Full Entry]

Well folks it has been a long time since I posted here. A number of things happened (not good) that occupied my time and thoughts. In March 2008 while still in Texas, Karl (the guy who travels with me) had a stroke. When he was released and able to travel, we left Breezelake Campground, Brownsville, TX and headed home. We didn't even get one mile away when a guy in a pickup, in a hurry, swideswiped my MH. Not much damage, but he tried to put the blame on me. The police weren't buying that, but it put us back 2 [View Full Entry]

I have not written a lot about the campground that I spent the winter. It is Breeze Lake Campground in Brownsville, TX. I love it here. I have found my home for the winter for at least another year. I have signed up for 4 months next year. This entry attempts to show the beauty of the Rio Grande Valley in the spring. You must see it to appreciate it. [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone. It has been some time since I made any entries here. I am currently at Breeze Lake Campground in Brownsville, TX and have been for 2 months. I will be here for another month before I start my travels again. Anyway, this entry is really about one of the greatest advantages to the RV lifestyle. The ability to meet new people and make new friends. I have made some really nice friends here at Breeze Lake Campground. Interesting enough, they are all from Canada. It seems that over 50% of the campers are from Canada. So enough of this, [View Full Entry]

This facility is hard to beat. There is even a veterinarian service on base, with prices that can't be beat, including pet chipping. For one of the most complete and informative ways to see San Antonio we suggest you start by parking in the gated self-parking lot ($6.00) at the base of The Tower of the Americas. You can then begin your tour by riding the elevator to the top of the tower for a breathtaking view of the entire San Antonio area. There is also a special 4-D theater there in The Tower and a restaurant. Next, via a [View Full Entry]
