We drove from Waco to San Angelo on the back roads because our GPS didn't know any better apparently. Ended up on a dirt road due to construction so the RV got dirty. Got to San Angelo and chose to stay at Spring Creek RV Campground and Marina on Lake Concho. Great little park, picturesque, quiet.
We found a few things to do the one day we stayed over. First, I washed the RV before Martha even got up. Then we went to Ft. Concho which was a very well preserved frontier, post Civil War, fort that due to the lack of local wood was mostly make of limestone, so a lot of the original buildings were there. The town seems to take a lot of pride in the fort and has a lot of volunteers working to keep and promote it with re-enactments, events. Oddly enough there is no wall. Just buildings. They didn't need walls in those days.
When we went to look in the barracks, we saw a cat sleeping on one of the beds. It seems to work there because they had a water dish and food plate. Must have kept the mice away.
The details in some of the restored buildings was as good as I've seen. I didn't take pictures of everything, but it was worth the stop. Seniors got in for $2.00.
On the way back to the RV, we hit a liquor store and found Buffalo Trace Bourbon, when they can't seem to keep on the shelves in NC. I could have bought any amount at this store in TX.
