Woke up bright and early to a beautiful sunrise at our little spot by the Guadalupe River in Kerrville, Texas.  Today’s stretch was gonna be rather long, so we needed to hit the road early.

As we pulled out, I looked over at the island across part of the river and saw three deer munching on grass.

And so we hit the road for a day full of beautiful Texas scenery.

We wound through the hills of Kerr County as they revealed canyons of dry rocky soil, brush, bushes and low trees.

The tractors were sexy.

Back on the I-10, and we headed west through hills…

…that seemed to multiply…

And then at the end of those hills, the world seemed to open up.

Off in the distance, they hills seemed to grow…

…and grow.

Then on top of those overgrown hills, we began to see a familiar sight.

Wind mill farms.

And it wouldn’t be Texas without seeing oil wells.

And then we finally pulled into our spot at the Van Horn KOA, just as a front was rolling in.

This was the view from our back window.  Somehow on our journey from Kerrville, those hills turned into mountains and Texas became the southwest.

Angie and I took a walk to experience our surroundings as the temperature dropped, wind began to blow and clouds took the sun away.

I had to remind Angie to look out for the cactus because they bite!

A southwest storm is rolling in.  3 to 5 inches of snow and high winds expected.  Should be much better to the west of us so we will have to see in the morning if we will be leaving in the morning.  We may have to spend another night until it all blows through.
