On the morning of the 15th we left New Braunfels after dumping our sewage on the ground. The Hill Country RV park sewer was blocked and management said just open her up and let it flow .... yuk. Don't think we'll stay there again.

We were really off then and headed for Fort Stockton a 313 mile run and averaged about 7.7 MPG. I put the cruise on 70 and the Flying Scotsman purred along  IH-10 very smoothly. The picture below is of a rest stop somewhere before Fort Stockton and the wildflowers were great even on a gray day.

Speaking of the wildflowers we were disappointed earlier as the flowers were nonexistent in Bryan and very sparse even the hill country around New Braunfels. Too much rain this year I guess.


After the day's run westward we came to the planned stop in the Fort Stockton RV Park. The view from the front of the RV of the west Texas scenery was really neat.



This park was a pretty good one with nice wide gravel spots and friendly management.



And in the nice sunset you can see the bus which is the second from the left. The departure road from the park is right in front making our departure easy.



The sunset was the result of a gathering winter storm and we spent the night looking at the Weather Channel and going over possible options to our westward journey.
