We're just got to our lot in Retama Village in Mission, TX on Sunday, right after the Houston Fall rally. Glad to be sitting still for a little while...think we'll be here until late April or early May...feels good to be "home"!

See you'all down the road...

Heading South to TX

Jim and I are now heading south for the winter. We will spend the month of November in Fredericksburg TX, then on down to the Rio Grande Valley to Llano Grande in Mercedes for Dec, Jan and Mar. Then probably back up to Fredericksburg, TX for April.

We will spend our third winter at Pueblo El Mirage in El Mirage, AZ which is just west of Phoenix. A wonderful park with an 18 hole par 72 golf course in the resort. Love the place. Great weather too!!
 
We spent Jan through April in Kerrville, Tx at the Guadalupe River RV Resort which is nice but costly. Then on to Lakehills, Tx (hill country) from May to June at the Medina Lake RV Resort which is nice but really really busy and you have to move to different spots all the time due to not so good management. Now we've been staying in Skyline Ranch RV park 1 1/2 miles outside of Bandera, Tx (beautiful little cowboy capital town) since July. We'll be heading out Nov 2 to Del Rio, Tx (plan on doing a lot of fishing at Lake Amistad close by) to stay the month at Holiday Trav-L park and then on to Rockport, Tx to stay Dec and Jan at the Big D RV Resort. We've not been to the Big D yet but it looks really nice and even has a salt water fishing lake and fishing pier which I hope DH will like. He's been itching to fish for quite some time but the river here has been quite low all summer.

Sheri and Myself are at Van Horn KOA in Van Horn Texas where we will be for about six months. We have been here for one week and temps have been nice, today it is 80 degrees with full sun but only supposed to reach 59 degrees next Monday but rain is rare here and the cool temps will be nice for a change. It is not a destination park so most only stay overnight then continue on their trip. If anyone is in the area stop in and say hi, It's a nice place to spend the night with an on site cafe that serves pretty good food. We are located at exit 140 on I-10.

We are at Ramona Canyons RV Park in Ramona, CA. It has been quite rainy for the past week and looks like it will stay cool with more rain this week.
We will be headed to Yuma and St. David the end of January. Even with it being on the cool side it is better than the northern part of the country. At least we don't have to shovel it.

And shovel and shovel and shovel some more - just in one day -day in and day out.

Waiting for a break in the weather, then Florida, here we come.

chermanson, interested in knowing where you might be going in Montana for the summer. If possible, we are thinking of heading that direction also.

We are in Florida until March 18th. We are headed to the Tampa RV show then to Clermont for a month and the Keys for another month. Florida is nice and we are enjoying the East Coast.
 
Hi All, Denis and I are wintering at a spectacular park in Arizona just out of Yuma 20 miles. We are on the Colorado river at Hidden Shores rv park this is our fourth winter here.

We are in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. We are about 10 minutes from Nueve Progresso, Mexico, where the Winter Texans eat, shop, drink, eat ship and drink. One can drive across the border or park in one of the large parking lots and walk across the bridge. (Great exercise to work off the food and beverage.) If one is not in to shopping, eating and drinking, you can lay out by the pool or do one of the other dozen things. These parks have it all. After June 1st a passport will be required to go across and return. The RV parks here in "the Valley" call all of the visitors "Winter Texans." We have been coming dowin here for about 20 years, before we started RVing. If you do not like 84 degree days in January then this is not the place for you. The Canadians love it here.

We are in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas at Encore's Paradise South RV Park in Mercedes. We are about 10 minutes from Nuevo Progresso, Mexico. Passports will be required after June 1, 2009 to re-enter the U.S. Lots of inexpensive shopping, eating and drinking across the border in Mexico. All of the parks down here have at least one swimming pool to get a good winter tan, and they all have lots of activities. They call the seasonal visitors "Winter Texans." There are dozens of parks, anything from the moderate priced to the expensive resort parks. Not many places in this country off you 84 degrees in January, but the Valley does.

Joseph, how are things at the border as far as safety goes? We've been hearing some "horror stories" of people being kidnapped, found in hotel rooms with their kidneys missing etc. I've heard Progressive is still the safest border town though. Stay tuned to the forum for a Heartland Luncheon in Mission coming up in Mid February. We plan on coming down for lunch and to restock the liquor cabinet. :D
