hermanmullins Report post Posted March 21, 2019 There is one constance in TEXAS weather. That is that it can change in a moments notice both good and bad, any day, any time of the year. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 22, 2019 Up until yesterday, no birds in yard...then at 4 pm, they are here again...first the purple martins, 7 of our 24 condos are occupied. Blue bird, in one house out of 5, the hummers should be coming today along with the robins & red cardinals...Spring has sprung! 75 yesterday and same for next 10 days..cool mornings! Perfect weather. We may have a "Blue Norther", between now & Fall...be 90/95 and humid, 20 minutes or less in the 40's! Those are interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 27, 2019 We started our journey home to Michigan today. Passed thru the megapolis of Marble Falls, Burnet and Stephenville on our way to Coffee Creek RV park for the night. Tomorrow it is Shady Pines near Texarkana. We had a wonderful winter this year, it is with sad hearts we leave Texas. Depending on how things go with my wife’s health I hope we get the chance to return next year.

wildebill308 Report post Posted March 27, 2019 I know you go East on I-40 for a while, where do you turn North? What roads do you use? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 27, 2019 Thank you Carl! Bill we are going to go 30 to 40 thru Memphis and Nashville, 65 north to Louisville then 71 to Cincinnati. Then 75 to Brookville Ohio to see my wife’s 95 year old mother and then 75 to 23 to home in Fenton Michigan. We plan to be home between the 4-6 of April. This has been our best extended trip, not going the extra 1000 miles to Arizona really made a difference. I whole heartedly can recommend Stella Mare in Galveston, Majestic Oaks and Southern Oaks near Aransas Pass and Rockport, Texas Trails in Pharr and Alsatian RV resort in Castroville.

Trying to connect the name with a purpose. I can hear my wife now "why do you want to go there"? They have a huge selection of gourmet coffee, well so does the grocery store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 27, 2019 Sorry Joe but it is named for the creek that runs thru property. No real campstore but the campground has a 200+ acre pasture right next to it which has cattle, horses and a mule that come right up to the fence for a scratch. My little Jack Russel loves to watch them, she sits in the front window guarding the MH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted March 27, 2019 Roland, sorry that we never got together for a meet. We live 16 miles from Stella Mare. We would have enjoyed showing you the sights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted March 27, 2019 When Renee Rash was there they had an area where they displayed Texas Items for sale. Haven't been there since she left and it was sold to the folk that also own Oak Creek RV Resort in Weatherford, Texas. Coffee Creek has always been a great place to hold a Rally. They have plenty of pull through sites and two meeting rooms with full kitchens. One large room with a front and rear porch and one smaller with a front porch.

manholt Report post Posted March 27, 2019 When it rains, the lower sites tend to puddle badly ! I was by the cattle fence last time and swam out. Like Roland and Herman said & I'm looking forward to going back to both parks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 Roland, You are leaving just as the weather is improving. We are talking about going back to the Ford Museum on our way East this May. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 The Ford Museum is a very interesting place, could fill up at least 2 days. Let me know if you do and we will see if we can meetup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted April 1, 2019 We are near Georgetown Ky. tonight, horse country. Worth a 2-3 night stay to see the surrounding country side including the Burbon Trail. We are at Wispering Hills RV park, seems like a good place. Tomorrow we head to Brookville Ohio to see the mother in law for 2 days and then home to Michigan.

It is part of the Smithsonian and is the home of some famous retired Kentucky Derby winners. They have a neet program where they bring several out and do a presentation about their careers and you can nearly touch the horses you are that close. Really interesting place.
