Burrrrrrrrr Close The Door

As we pulled out of San Antonio to head further west we couldn't help but think that it was a good decision to stay here for the Christmas/New Years period. We had a ton of fun and we didn't get to see everything. Another reason to come back.

The day started out sunny and quite cool 28 F. As we moved closer to Fort Stockton it got colder. We stopped at a rest stop for lunch cause I'm thinking warm restrooms and hot water to wash my hands. Not! It was 19 F out. Susan didn't even want to get out of the truck, Lulu stood in one spot and shivered, Stuart with his long coat was having a great time. The restrooms were open air, the soap dispenser was frozen, there was no water coming from the taps, and sometimes you just wish you were a guy. Those seats are cold. I used the outside tap to wash my hands OMG that was cold. No outside picnic here so we ate on the road.

When we arrived at Hilltop RV Park it was beautiful and sunny but only 30 F. I connected the water knowing that I would disconnect it later today. The park itself sits on top of a hill overlooking the town of Fort Stockton, which is a couple miles away.
Registration Office
We were escorted to our site by the owner. He really didn't have to since the park is very small and you couldn't get lost. But it was a nice jester.
Our site # 46
Not much around except wide open space and lots of dust. The roads are somewhat crushed limestone with lots of rock. You can see for miles.
I-10 going west, like I said you can see for miles
Very clean bath house
Pretty much self explanatory
Susan they have a pool, it's 30 F out
Covered patios at some of the sites
The owners have done a great job decorating the park to take away the desolate look.
Yeah, fresh eggs
Fantastic metal work
