OUR TRAVELS

Currently we are in The Texas Hill Country, staying in beautiful Fredericksburg at the Hill Country RV Park.  The sites are level, with free WiFi and cable included.  They offer daily, weekly and monthly rates.   The current monthly rate is $250.00 per month+ electric.  They have a small clubhouse and laundry room.  The staff is friendly and is very willing  to provide you with great information about the area. One of the plus of this park is a Super Walmart is within walking distance, as is a major building/home improvement store.
I my cell service is AT&T and it works quite well here.

One of Many Interesting Shops Down Town

Fredericksburg was settled by German immigrants around 1846.  There are many historical buildings in the area that have been lovingly restored.    Fredericksburg is the birthplace of Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet during World War II.  The National Museum of the Pacific War, is an interesting place to spend a day or two, as is the George H.W. Bush Gallery, Admiral Nimitz Museum, Plaza of the Presidents, Veterans' Walk of Honor and Memorial Wall, Japanese Gardens of Peace, Pacific Combat Zone and the Center for Pacific War Studies.

There are also several State Parks in the area. Lady Bird Johnson Park features full hook up RV (and tent) sites, with cable and WiFi, as well as a pool, golf course, tennis courts, and volleyball.  There are also shaded picnic areas with BBQ grills.  There are several hiking trails and we sawing people fishing.  We stayed  here during the spring and the roadside and meadows are filled with colorful wildflowers.

Trail at Lady Bird Johnson Park

Wildseeds Farm is the nation's largest working wildflower farm and definitely worth a visit, and is a short drive from town down Hwy 290.  The Old Tunnel Wildlife Management Area is a treat for those wanted to witness the emergence of millions of Mexican free-tailed bats from an abandoned train tunnel. (I hate bats, they remind me of flying mice)  The bats usually are present from May-October.

There are so many things to see and do here I would suggest contacting the visitors center at: www.visitfredericksburgtx.org or stopping by at 302 E. Austin Street.  Phone number:  888-997-3600.
Excellent parking at the back of the visitor center for RVs.  (We saw several tour buses parking there)
The visitors center can provide you with information on accommodations, (there are many RV parks) restaurants, places to hike and fish, State Parks, the numerous museums to visit, the walking tours and the wonderful shopping!
