Starlink

 I ordered Starlink RV as soon as we got here in Bandera, Texas. It showed up about 10 days later. I got it up and running in about 10 minutes. So far we love it! Speeds as high as 165 Mbps, but most of the time it's 100 Mbps. To us, this is super fast. Our Verizon hot spot, if it is working at all, has a speed of 6 Mbps or not at all. I am going to call Verizon and tell them where to put that hot spot real soon. Verizon is way overpriced and they limit the data. Starlink does not limit the data at all.

At this park we have a good clear sky for the Starlink to see the satellites. Starlink is so easy to set up anybody can do it, even me. You do it all on your smart phone. You can put it on pause anytime, so when we get back to the foothills we'll pause it. We have good internet at the BGE RV Resort already.

We took a trip to Luckenbach Texas. It's a fun thing to do. We took Katie and she loved it. We were hoping to see Willie Nelson there, but we missed him😉.

This park is full of deer, Peggy has even seen two Fox on her morning walk. She has some pictures of them, but they stay far away.

We even have Axis deer. They are not native to Texas. With a permit you can hunt them year round. 

Some more wild life, a Texas jumping spider! Oh that's a little creepy!

We even have a longhorn steer in the park.

We have bad news. We lost a good member of our dog pack, Buffy. Such a sad day, Buffy was one of the best Bostons we've ever known. She was a special dog. She loved everyone and got along with all other dogs. She would rather hang out with people, then break off to join Katie and Gracie for a bit. Always to come back to her crowd of people. When she would come over for a play date, she would first say hello and then make her rounds of the lot before indulging in puppy play. She always found a way to get a little snack from Katie's dish. Buffy was a calm, sweet smart girl. We were lucky to have known her and will miss her.

We made a couple of improvements to the RV. I installed a tire sensor repeater in the back of the RV. This should help get the signals from the car tires. We were having problems getting the signals all the time. And we also changed the Toilet seat! My butt is way happier!

Sometimes we see the funniest things in our travels.

A couple of stops behind.

 I'm a couple of stops behind, so here we go. We stopped at Wild Willy's RV park in Roswell, NM. It was a small park, but we had a nice pull thru site. It's an old park that Willy is fixing up. He took 2 sites to make the big pull thrus. He built a nice new building with a new laundry in it. The price was only $140 a week. That, in today's market, is cheap. We should get Joe to pass a bill to keep camping affordable to all.  The town of Roswell was nice. Everything had an Alien Theme.

We had a good time in Roswell. We found a nice little Brewery, The Black Cock Brewery. The beer was pretty good and the food truck outside had some good food. At happy hour, you buy food and get the beer for $1.

Black Cock Brewery. Nice small place.

Even the street lights had an Alien Theme.

Then we moved to Midland Texas and stayed at Midland RV Park. It was mostly a parking lot. It had 3 dog parks that Katie loved. One even had grass, she hasn't seen a lot of that out here in the west. 

We went to Riley's bar for a steak fry and the biggest Bloody Mary's I've ever seen. I guess everything in Texas is BIG!

Now we're in Bandera, Texas. We found a really nice park, Skyline Ranch RV Park. The park is mostly empty. This park is a snow bird park, full in the winter. We love Bandera. We were here back in 2017, but stayed at a different park.

The park is full of deer! It has a nice walking path down to the river. We saw Longhorn cattle, Axis deer, white tail deer, a skunk and some donkeys on our morning walk. Good thing Katie was on her leash, or she would have met that skunk and I would be in big trouble again.

We went to The 11th Street Cowboy Bar for the Wednesday night Steak cook. You bring your own steak and cook it on the Giant grills. You buy the baked potato and salad for $6. They have a band playing and a huge dance floor. We'll be going back next Wednesday!

It's like a giant Weber grill. They have 3 of them going.

Big stage and a great band.

We're going to stay here for a month and save up for our next fill up! The price of diesel is out of sight, Thanks Joe.

I know I put lots of pictures of pizza on the blog, but we love pizza and the BGE makes it so good. This one is Chicken, Bacon, Ranch! Really good, try it sometime.
