Tuesday - up and ready to travel. Heading for Texas! Filled up on gas in Carlsbad, then headed southeast on Hwy 285. Desert terrain all the way, with the addition of hundreds of oil derricks pumping, oil storage tanks, semis hauling oil or water and big white pickups. Doesn't make sense, white pickups driving on dirt most of the time, but Gary says white color is the cheapest. Went through Pecos, TX and then on to Fort Stockton. Arrived at the Parkview RV Park (a desert park view I guess) about 1:00. Set up, started laundry and napped. (Not much to do in Ft. Stockton on a hot day). We did go to get pictures of a giant Roadrunner. We have been trying to find roadrunners for the twins, this was a good one! Had a quiet evening at home.

Wednesday - Up early for travel days to beat the heat, we headed east on I-10. The scenery changed right away, more gentle hills and some mesas, not just desert. A pretty drive, took us about 5 hours to reach Fredericksburg. We found the Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park and checked in. They gave us a full hookup site, with Shade! They had a very strong wi-fi signal and cable TV hookup. The Captain was very happy - Cable = college football later in the week!
After setting up, we went to see downtown Fredericksburg, a historic German town. Had supper at the Fredericksburg Brewery. We walked through shops and finished the night with a glass of wine at the Texas Wine Cellars and there we watched the "American Pickers" show with a couple visiting from the UK.
