Rufus hasn't been one to climb when we're out walking. Little Izzy liked to be on top of a wall, a boulder, or on a low tree branch when we were walking... if there was a picnic table in our site, she would be on top of it. Rufus is content to be out, looking around; at his level. More on this in a bit.
Today's drive took us north to San Antonio, then west. The last few times we've been through San Antonio, we've managed to avoid traffic jams, whether by timing or just luck. I thought we'd be good heading into the big city around noon. I was wrong. We got caught in a couple slowdowns, due to construction. Fortunately, we aren't on a tight schedule.
We have a reservation for tonight in what looks like a very nice RV park from the road (I-10). We've been by it every time we go this direction (and on the way back), but the timing hasn't been good to stop for the day. We got off the road earlier yesterday, so this was the opportunity to spend a night at Buckhorn Lake RV Resort.
We planned to be in around 2:00; actual arrival time was about 2:30 (so, we lost about a half hour due to the traffic in San Antonio). Plenty early enough to get set up and take Rufus out for a walk... and he was ready to go (he sat on my lap through San Antonio).
We're in a nice site, and it is close to the Pickle Ball Courts and a path along a pond. There is a small concrete block retaining wall (only a couple blocks tall) in that area, and Rufus surprised me by wanting to be on that wall...
The only dogs we saw were too far away or the one that went by with a guy in a golf cart... they didn't stop. It was only in the upper 50s, but not much wind, so pleasant for walking. When I told him it was time to go home, he knew which way to go, even though our walk took us on a loop. That gives me confidence that he could find his way home if he and I got separated... "What is it, Rufus, did Jimmy fall in the well?" If you said, "A reference to the TV show Lassie from the 1950s," you get 40 bonus points. If you said, "Who is Lassie?", get off my lawn, ya damn whippersnapper. (Like there's any whippersnappers reading this blog... I think I have the same demographics for readership as Harley Davidson for their trikes and Cricket for their cell phones - LOL!)
The RV site here is plenty long, paved and level...
It's not a huge park, but it is very nice. There is a separate (much smaller) adults-only side of the resort; we are in the "family" side. Separate swimming pools and activity areas. "Executive" areas for adult and family; not sure what the difference is. A few cottages for rent. This is just west of Kerrville, so it would be a good place to base yourself for a few days of motorcycle riding (they do have rules for motorcyclists: no riding around the resort, just to and from your site; no large gatherings at a site; no "burping" your engine (I'm guessing they meant "blipping"). Hill Country is a popular riding area; we've spent time at a different RV park outside of Kerrville and one in Fredricksburg, to do some riding.
But, today we are just down for a night as we head west.
