On a recent circle trip around central Texas, we stopped over for a visit at the Escapee’s Alamo Area Co-op Lone Star Corral RV Park near Hondo, about 45 miles west of San Antonio.
This was our first visit to the park and Jimmy was hoping for a game of eight ball. There were three decent billiards tables in the club house … and as with all the Escapee RV Parks we have visited, the facilities were top notch and the people were welcoming and friendly.
Just outside the community building Liz and Jack Pearce (above) slowed their morning stroll to introduce themselves and welcome us to The Corral.
Jack, a retired electrical engineer and Liz, a software engineer, have been Escapees for 20 years and fulltime RVers since 1995.
They live in their 40-foot Bluebird Wanderlodge and split their time between winters in Texas and summers to Colorado. One of Liz’s volunteer positions is as editor of the bi-weekly Corral News.
As I mentioned earlier, we were going to stay over a second night so that Jimmy could shoot a little pool … unfortunately, between the extremely loud, unhappy pack of barking rescue dogs housed just outside the RV park … and the frequent loud, long whistles of the nearby freight trains working their way east and west … we didn’t have the energy. We love dogs and we love trains, just not non-stop, all night long.
