For those who know us and our luck in planning long range RV trips, it has not gone well.
Something devastating has always interfered with our plans and ultimately, we had to cancel.
But this time, I am confident we will get there! (I have to be!)
We plan to spend 5 full months (November 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022) escaping the New England winter in a little town called Bandera, Texas. Texas had a rough time of it this winter for a couple of weeks, but the majority of the season is much warmer and snow-free compared to what we live through in Massachusetts. The plan is to leave the beginning of October to allow for a slow, stress free 2000 mile drive to Skyline Ranch RV Resort in Texas Hill Country. Charlie will be the driver and I want to make sure he gets plenty of rest en route. Hopefully, we can take in some sites along the way, depending on the pandemic situation in the fall. Most of the activities I enjoy are outside but I wouldn't mind taking in a museum or other interesting indoor site.
So why Bandera?
To begin with, I was searching for a winter destination with warmer weather and virtually no snow. It didn't necessarily have to be a tropical climate - just warm enough to be outside. When you're RVing most of your time is spent enjoying the outdoors.
Next and very important - cost. We needed a reasonably priced RV park, with all the amenities important to us and would fit our budget. So I put the question out to the RV community universe - and voila! Skyline Ranch came highly recommended. After doing some further research and following the reviews, I knew this would be a good option for us.
Bandera has been dubbed "The Cowboy Capital of the World". Activities and events held in town center around embracing "the west" - rodeos, horseback and bull riding, It is also a big motorcycle town with famous roads attracting bikers. We will fit right in. ( Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way we will be able to take our Harley) Bandera boasts quite a few RV resorts in this small area which obviously makes it a desirable spot for wintering. Skyline Ranch is right on the Medina River, with a lot of wildlife roaming freely, fishing, birding. We are looking forward to our stay.
T-minus 212 days and counting!
