Saturday on the Move

R is for rain and Reata: both highlights of our last Saturday in Texas.

I loved waking up to the pure mountain rain enveloping the basin campground. It smelled so fresh! The hike planned for the day on Lost Mine Trail would be too dangerous considering the weather, so we decided to pack up our wet camp a day early and move on.

Among the waterfalls in the mountains and some frolicking animals in the desert, we drove a few hours to Alpine TX. Fun fact: Alpine is the largest town, in the largest county, in the largest state in the continental US.

Lost Alaskan RV Park came up highly rated on Google and they had space available. We plugged into shore power for the first time in five days. Back on the grid at the best private campground ever, we enjoyed the cleanest facilities, including laundry and a close proximity to town.

We had a late lunch at Reata Restaurant on north 5th St. The meal was amazing Tex-Mex fare. The tamale bread pudding desert was incredible! Alec, a local diner, kept us company at the bar. His wife owes Cheshire Cat Antiques in town. Back in civilization, we ran some errands and explored the antiques shop. What a collection! Back at camp, our equipment was dry.
