I-10 was our route winding through lovely, green hills where wildflowers graced the sides of the highway. Purple, lavender, orange, white and two shades of yellow with an occasional bright red thrown in for contrast. The sun was shining and the wind was manageable.
We passed through miles of windmill farms. And the closer we got to San Antonio the warmer and nicer it became. We left I-10 and headed south in search of the Thousand Trails park where our reservations had been made. Following a number of backroads, we passed through Bandera and Pipe Creek and there were few signs to guide us.
Finally, we stumbled upon Medina Lake Thousand Trails. The car was quickly disconnected from the coach and we drove through this gorgeous park to find a site that was perfect for us.
What a find! All of the sites are surrounded by trees and grass and deer. We were extremely lucky to find one at the end of a row with a big "front yard". There are two picnic tables and a barbeque and no one next to us.
And the entire park is full of deer, jack rabbits, squirrels, ducks and birds. At one point, there were seven deer in our "yard" and close to 60 in the field across from us. Doug sits at the picnic table and practices his deer whisperer routine. It's amazing how close they will come to him.
It is so quiet and peaceful here, that we are hoping to extend our stay to two weeks. There is so much to see in San Antonio and we would like some time to just relax and enjoy the wildlife and greenery. We hit the jackpot with this park!
