We are at Pecan Park Campgrounds again, backed into a nice long spot with trees for the picture window view instead of other sites. Had to run the fireplace (electric heater) and a ceramic heater in the bedroom last night as it got down to 41 degrees last night. We plan to spend the afternoon and evening at Wurstfest in New Braunfels listening to music and enjoying German food and beverages.

We spent another nice weekend, this time at Pecan Park in San Marcos. We love the tall trees and access to the San Marcos river. We had our first "sleep over" guest in the new RV and she reported that the inflated bed on the pull out couch was quite comfortable. We were blessed with a thunderstorm on Sunday morning. Texas has been in quite a severe drought and we got several inches (2.5 at home).

Grapevine, TX
We spent a very nice three day weekend at The Vinyards Campground and Cabins in Grapevine, TX. It is about 200 miles from Austin, so we wanted to stay an extra night to justify the distance. The park is run by the city of Grapevine and was beautiful. It is on a large lake at the south end with a couple of coves and points, so lots of shore line. There are some smaller sites clustered together, and some larger sites with sweeping views of grass leading down to the shore. Some sites are in nicely wooded areas.
The dogs had a wonderful time playing on the shore, wading in the water, and "chasing" the ducks and geese (though they were on leashes and never got close to the birds).

Kerville-Schreiner Park
We decided to go a little farther (120 miles) to a park we have stayed at before. It was a Texas State Park but is now (again) a city park. Excellent rural setting on the uphill part. We stayed on the deer field loop (30amp max so not enough for our two AC units in the summer). Lots of deer in the evenings. There are well marked trails for hiking/biking. We took the dogs out on Saturday and again on Sunday for 1/2 hour after we had closed the trailer. Pretty trail along Guadalupe River in the other side of the road by the office.
The water pipe froze on Friday night. We had emptied the hose and turned it off, but it delayed things in the morning. We expected it, so we at least had water for coffee. 22 degrees that night. 47 on Sunday morning.
