Today was a travel day. We have left Boerne and are on our way to Arizona. We are spending the the night in Ft. Stockton, Texas, at an RV park, Comanche Land RV Park, along Interstate 10. It's basically a large gravelled parking lot on the highway. The price is OK ($16) for full hookups for an overnight stay. And we have good phone and Internet service!
Ft. Stockton is part of the Big Bend region of Texas and lies with the Chihuahuan Desert which covers not only parts of Texas but Mexico and New Mexico as well. Annual rainfall is reported to be no more than 12 inches. There actually is an old fort here which initially protected settlers from the Comanches a few years prior to the Civil War. Tourist attraction now. Big Bend National Park is also in the vicinity--actually 127 miles away, but in Texas, that is in the neighborhood.
