Well, we're back in Kerrville again. After leaving Florida, we were planning to drive along I-20 until we got to the west side of Texas. We did that to a certain extent, stopping in Dothan, AL, Meridian, MS, Monroe, LA, Canton, TX and Ranger, TX. The plan was to keep heading west across Texas on I-20, but we couldn't find any campgrounds, were we could get a reservation, west of Ranger. So, we headed south to Kerrville, where we've stayed twice before. The most interesting part of the trip from Ranger to Kerrville was the condition of the roads. We had been told by one of the RVers, that we had met, that any of the roads in Texas would be fine while towing a trailer. I didn't really believe him, but found out on that trip that he was completely accurate. The state roads between little towns, out in the middle of nowhere, were amazing. Much of it was 4 lane or 3 lane with a passing lane on one side or the other. Almost no potholes and hardly any bumps. And, beside that, there was hardly any traffic. We could go for miles without seeing another vehicle.
So, we're back in Kerrville again. It's still the nicest campground we've stayed in and we've been in about 20 so far. I really like the area because it's half way between the deserts of the west and the temperate area. It's in what's called Texas Hill Country. In a lot of ways it reminds me of North Georgia, just not so many trees, but not stark like New Mexico. You start to see prickly pear cactus here, but still have green grass and rivers with water in them. 100 miles west of here there won't be hardly any trees, the river beds will be all dried up and there will be lots of cactus and scrub brush.
At any rate, we'll be staying here for a week, leaving on Thursday. After that, two stops before Green Valley, AZ and 5 or 6 months of staying put. It'll be interesting to see how we feel about that come January or February. We both seem to get the urge to move after a couple of days or a week at the most.
