Hondo, Texas

Wednesday was a travel day.  Cloudy skies and cool temps (low 40s)  made for a good driving day.  We drove 325 miles  from Livingston to Hondo, Texas.  Hondo is a farming community about 45 minutes west of San Antonio. 
We are staying at another Escapee park, Lone Star Corral.  But this is a co-op park of 130 sites.  Individuals own the rite to their sites for a minimum of 5 years.  They pay up front for the site and pay annual maintenance fees.  After 5 years they can get their money back or renew their lease for one dollar a year.  The park in effect gets to collect interest on the money paid up front.  The leasees in turn are able to rent out their sites when not here to other Escapee Club members like us.  The site fee is a standard $15.50 per day plus electricity. 
Many of the sites here have small out buildings for storage but the sites are fairly uniform.  All sites have pea gravel parking, some have plantings but no grass to mow.  Maintenance on most sites is kept to a minimum.  The site that we are on has no buildings on it. 
A downside to this park is that we are on the fringe of Verizon's 3G service and I can't connect to the internet for more than a minute or two.  The park does have WiFi, but it's signal is very weak from our site.  We are experiencing the "dark ages."
