UNEVENTFUL DRIVE TO DEL RIO ELKS LODGE

Saturday, February 17 – We had an wonderful and uneventful trip to Del Rio, Texas, today. We began our travel by heading North on TX-118 which is rated as a scenic highway. It lived up to its reputation. What a beautiful drive. There was some pretty significant climbing for the first ten or so miles, but it then leveled out through Texas prairie country until just south of Alpine, Texas. We then finished the climb through beautiful mountain vistas until reaching US-90 in Alpine. This area has some spectacular views that we really enjoyed.

There was an awesome cloud cover. We have no idea what this
might be called. Any ideas?

Once on US-90, it was typical Texas prairie until we crossed the Pecos River near Langtry, TX. We traveled the up and down hilly foothills again through the Texas canyons until we reached our destination in Del Rio. We are staying at the Del Rio Elks Lodge.

The Elks Lodge has ten RV sites with newly installed 50/30 amp electric and water at each site. There is a dump station that is easily accessible on the 7.8 acres here at the Lodge. The sites are side by side gravel and about 40 or 50 feet wide. They are as deep as you need because they are situated along the edge of a field. We did not unhook our truck. We were also the only RV in the campground. There are also smoker type grills at each site. The cost is $15 per night or $5 for dry camping. The folks in the Lodge were typical friendly Elks members.

We are only here overnight and are then heading about 175 miles Northeast to San Antonio, Texas. We'll be floating down the river, enjoying the River Walk, and seeing the local sites. This is our third time in San Antonio, a town that never gets old. So stop back and enjoy some city life with us.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
