Spring Training 2019 - Day 72

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 cafĂ© 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.
