Downtown El Paso
After two challenging hikes we knew we deserved a cold beer, so we headed into downtown. Nice city, we parked very close to one of the border crossings. Lots of people walking around, busy with Christmas shopping.
El Paso
Our next stop was El Paso, a city right on the Mexican border. In addition to wanting to see the city, we were there to check out a storage site that we want to put the Breeze in when this trip is done. Our campsite was at the Roadrunner RV Park, an inner city spot acceptable only because it was a place to sleep.
Our first day in El Paso we drove over to Franklin Mountain State Park on the edge of town, looking for a good hike. We found one and had a great time climbing to the top and looking down on the city. Very challenging and scenic hike.
After about a 3 hour hike we got back to the car and drove to another part of the park, and once again decided to climb up for the views, this time to a huge cave partway up the mountain.
It was worth the hike, so beautiful.
Van Horn Texas
Fort Stockton Texas
The first stop was in Fort Stockton, a small town in the middle of seemingly nowhere. But we had a decent campsite and got to take a short hike around the area.
The West Texas desert
So we headed west, next destination El Paso, but it was going to take us a couple nights to get there. It is pretty much a straight line through the desert.
Enjoying Kerrville

San Antonio
After three nights in Austin we continued our trip south, next stop Kerrville, Texas, a small city outside of San Antonio. Our campsite was in a city owned park, Kerrville Schreiner Park. We drove into the city and enjoyed the River Walk and other site such as the Alamo.
