Where are Cheryl and Dennis?: D'Hannis, Del Rio and Friends

12/18/2019 – 12/27/2019 – We spent a nice week at the Lone Star SKP Park in D'Hannis Texas. The folks there were wonderful. We spent most of the week hanging around the park. One day it was raining so we took a drive up to Fredricksburg. We attended a white elephant gift exchange on Christmas Eve. Then we had a wonderful Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day. There was turkey, ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans and rolls and butter. Everyone brought a dessert to share and oh my god was it all yummy!

We left Lone Star on Thursday Dec. 26 to rendezvous with our friends Mike and Terri. They are on a tour of Texas and we found out that our paths were going to cross so we found a RV park in Comstock Texas where we could visit for a couple of days. It was a little over a two hour drive so we were in no hurry to get there. We had just arrived at the park and were deciding where to park when Mike and Terri drove in. We spent the rest of the day catching up and shared dinner. We cooked hamburgers and Terri made some awesome potato salad. We had fun playing a couple of board games with them before bed.

On Friday we drove into Del Rio. First stop was the Amistad National Recreation Area Visitor Center. The Amistad Reservoir is a large body of water that is fed by the Devils, Pecos and Rio Grande Rivers. Then we stopped at the Del Rio Visitor Center to pick up tourist information. Terri is a avid thrift store shopper. She looks for vintage clothing and jewelry. We stopped at the one thrift store in Del Rio. It was very small but she found a couple of items that she had to have. We also drove by the Brinkley Mansion and stopped at the Val Verde Winery which is the oldest winery in Texas.

We had lunch at a place called Memo's that was recommended by someone at the winery. The service was slow, the waiter couldn't remember our order and the food was so so. Not some place we are likely to visit again. Then we headed over to the Whitehead Memorial Museum. This is a pioneer village on 2 acres featuring historical and cultural artifacts. It had many interesting and somewhat quirky exhibits and was very enjoyable. On the way back to Comstock we drove into the San Pedro Campground, part of the Amistad Recreation Area. It was very nice and would be a nice place to dry camp if we ever come back this way again. We had a great time with Mike and Terri and it was so good to see them again!

Where we are parked: Desert Hills RV Park – Comstock TX – $20/night - There were about 25 sites, about 20 of them had full hook up. We stayed in the electric and water only sites as they were further from the road. It was not greatest RV park but again it served our purpose.
