West Texas

[phorner]

We're in Kerrville, TX and headed west, still on our way to OKC the LONG way.

Any bus-friendly stopping spots recommended along I-10 between Kerrville and El Paso?

Thanks...

Paul,

Did you stay at Buckhorn Lake? If so, we will miss you by one week. We will be at Buckhorn this coming Sunday.
How hot is it out there right now?
Hope you guys are enjoying the trip to OKC.

Paul, if you have a few days on the way, drop down to Marathon. It's a great base to explore Marfa, a fabulous art town, and of course Big Bend.

Andre,

Yes, we're at Buckhorn Lake. Sorry to have missed you. Yesterday it was 100, should be the same today. But, it's nice and cool in the bus.. those cruiseairs humming away.

While you're here, if you've never been to Luckenbach, you need to check it out.

Jim,

That sounds like a great side trip, but our schedule is kinda tight this time. We're headed ultimately to California before we turn around and head to OKC.

We stopped over at the KOA in Fort Stockton. I'm not a big KOA fan, but this place was fine for an overnight, I think it's about halfway to El Paso... They run a small restaurant with good food.

Edit - I think it is no longer a KOA, I believe it's now called the Fort Stockton RV Park.

We have stayed at Fort Stockton RV park many times. It is a nice little park for an overnight. It is almost always full, so call ahead and make a reservation. We have had to park in the over flow lot (no hook-ups) once.

Thanks for the reply's. We've stayed at the Ft. Stockton KOA in the past and that's where we were thinking for an overnight stop.

If it works with your itinerary, the KOA is Van Horn is very friendly. The streets and sites are just gravel but they have a great cafe on the grounds and will deliver your dinner to you at you bus. Pretty good biscuits and gravy in the morning, too,

Happy trails.

Carol,

Thanks for the info! Next time through, we'll be sure to check it out...

A relatively new Flying J at Lordsville NM also has the nicest truck stop RV parking I have seen yet. Long slots out in the front of the building under lights. Nice and quiet and away from the trucks which makes for a great quick overnight a little west of El Paso.
