Turned out to be a most certainly worth no consideration for a work camp environment so we shall try, try again. Maybe Huntsville State Park.<\/p>\n<p>Frost heaves, Texas style, along Hw 290 to Austin slowed our journey just before Giddings where you best cool your jets anyway or the local law enforcement officers will stop to ticket, or if you\u2019re lucky, just warn you to slow down. Spent the night at La Hacienda RV Resort and Cabins in Austin and quickly added it to our more-nights-here-please for a future return.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/La-Hacienda-RV-Resort-Office.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"La Hacienda RV Resort Office\" alt=\"La Hacienda RV Resort Office\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/La-Hacienda-RV-Resort-Office_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Pool-and-putting-green.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Pool and putting green\" alt=\"Pool and putting green\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Pool-and-putting-green_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>La Hacienda had neat and clean everything\u2026putting green, large clubhouse, pool, free morning coffee at the office,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Off-leash-dog-park.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Off leash dog park\" alt=\"Off leash dog park\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Off-leash-dog-park_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Huge off leash dog park,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Laundry-and-showers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Laundry and showers\" alt=\"Laundry and showers\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Laundry-and-showers_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/RV-sites-and-cottages.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"RV sites and cottages\" alt=\"RV sites and cottages\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/RV-sites-and-cottages_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Newer washer\/dryers, ample sized toilet\/shower\/sink bathrooms, shade trees by the cabins which were speckled throughout the park,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Bird-houses.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Bird houses\" alt=\"Bird houses\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Bird-houses_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Picnic-area-by-RV-sites.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Picnic area by RV sites\" alt=\"Picnic area by RV sites\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Picnic-area-by-RV-sites_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lots of snowbirds but the grounds are tidy, a comfortable \u201chomey\u201d feel.

So worth staying up way past both of our bedtimes for a sprint through the magnificent new Whole Foods Market located in the new shopping area, Domain.<\/p>\n<p>We passed through Johnson City of past President Lyndon B. Johnson fame. A delightful little town with a variety of Junque shops and tiny hole-in-the-wall diners. LBJ Ranch, inside Lyndon Johnson National Historical Park where he was born, lived, died and was buried, was a point of interest and will be added to our Bucket List for next time around.<\/p>\n<p>Our drive to Kerrville for two nights stay at Buckhorn RV Resort was uneventful. John was impressed with the Resort.\u00a0 Me?\u00a0 Not so much so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Casitas-across-the-bridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Casita's across the bridge\" alt=\"Casita's across the bridge\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Casitas-across-the-bridge_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Adults-Only-Gym.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Adults Only Gym\" alt=\"Adults Only Gym\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Adults-Only-Gym_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Casita\u2019s\u00a0for Class A rigs to lease located across the bridge, adults only gym<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Outdoor-Bar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Outdoor Bar\" alt=\"Outdoor Bar\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Outdoor-Bar_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Adult-Only-Area.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Adult Only Area\" alt=\"Adult Only Area\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Adult-Only-Area_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Outdoor bar with drink specials, Family\/Adult Only pools and shower houses<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dog-Park-Play-Area.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Dog Park, Play Area\" alt=\"Dog Park, Play Area\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Dog-Park-Play-Area_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Resort-entrance.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Resort entrance\" alt=\"Resort entrance\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Resort-entrance_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"163\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Large off leash dog park and children\u2019s play area across the bridge, spacious entrance but exorbitant nightly rates, sites are not that staggered and feel cramped, WiFi is spotty until about 11:00pm, located very near huge power lines and I can clearly see\/hear the trucks on IH-10.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Across-from-Buckhorn-RV-Resort.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Across from Buckhorn RV Resort\" alt=\"Across from Buckhorn RV Resort\" src=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Across-from-Buckhorn-RV-Resort_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"164\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biggest redeeming quality for me was the Hill Country wildlife next door to the Resort.\u00a0 Lots of events and socials happening but for a TX Resort, I didn\u2019t quite feel at home.<\/p>\n<p>Yea side trips!

Block after block of metal roofs on every store and business along our route. Even the beautiful early 19<sup>th<\/sup> century cream colored stone buildings are topped with the stuff. Authenticity is moved aside to accommodate lower cooling bills and more reasonable replacement costs. Not that I have a problem with being environmentally frugal\u2026but really\u2026does every single business roof and government building roof in Kerrville need to be covered with metal? Seems someone was able to convince the whole town to throw authenticity out the window when it came to roof restoration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our last full day in The Woodlands is spent cleaning and packing stray accoutrements purchased for the slow journey North and a hasty side trip to Trinity, TX to check out the possibility of a TX winter work camp position &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/?p=3334\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lilypad"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3334"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3336,"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions\/3336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
