We left the San Antonio area (actually Boerne, TX) around 9:00 am under cloudy skies and moderate winds. After getting gas, we headed west on I-10. There were no cities to go through today, just lots and lots of open space.
It was pretty windy most of the day but that eased up a lot as we got closer to Ft. Stockton, TX. We have stayed at this RV park just about every time we have come this way. It is a convenient stopping point between El Paso and San Antonio/Houston and has all the amenities needed for an overnight stop. We have even spent extra time here in the past. There is a lot of history here and an interesting place to visit. There is also a nice little café at the park that serves dinner and breakfast at reasonable prices.
We travel to Las Cruces, NM tomorrow just NW of El Paso to another familiar stopping place on our east/west route along I-10.
As a side note: parked next to us is an Urban Assault Vehicle RV. If it isn't it could be. It looks like a high end SWAT vehicle, but there is no twin 50 caliber gun turret visible - perhaps it is retractable. I checked the web site for the company that makes these. The sticker price for the basic model is $650,000 then you add things. My guess is this one comes close to $1,000,000 or maybe more. All are custom made. Not in our price range.
