Camp Riverview 2024

 🌊 Fun at the Frio 👙

The camper has been in the shop for over a month! Glad to be back on the road. Leg 2 of the summer Texas Hill Country trip. I left the Guadalupe River State Park and headed to Bandera. I love this town! 💜 The rest of my crew was leaving from home and got delayed because we were getting LOTS of rain there. Mama reported 4" at the house! 

I got gas and went to City Park to walk Pepper and hang out while we waited for them to arrive. It rained a little and it was nice to have the camper and a mifi. When everyone arrived in mid-afternoon, we went to eat at OST and then caravanned to the Frio. It was a nice trip and a relaxing time, but the river was the lowest that I've ever seen. We made the best of it though.

I left early on Sunday to make it home for my Daddy's 84th birthday. Some left, some stayed. The ones that stayed saw a few more inches of rain at the Frio when they were ready to leave. They sure needed it!

✅ What I did: Meals at the Family Camp area - group breakfasts and suppers. Tacos, Chicken Spaghetti. Played Mexican Train and Joker & Pegs, hung out in the Frio

👀 What I saw: The full moon was gorgeous Friday and Saturday nights
🐦 Wildlife I encountered: Squirrels, Woodpeckers, Wrens, Catfish, Crawfish
  
📚 What I learned: The river is terribly low. Even Major's Crossing was barely over the road.
 
🤣 A laughable moment: Mexican Train shenanigans 🚂
 
😮 A surprising moment: Sitting in the river for hours then all of a sudden the water level dropped by about 2 feet within 15-30 minutes!
 
🙃 An unforeseeable moment:  One of the crew left his hoses at home and I happened to have extra

🛍️ My favorite souvenir: Photos

Outside the Park: 

🍸Met a friend at Gypsy Sally's. The bartenders made good Mexican Martinis. Big menu but it was between meal times so I didn't try out the food. 

👀 Rode through Clearwater Ranch & Resort to look around. I used Fuel Rewards to get cheaper gas.
