Little by little, one travels far. – J.R.R. Tolkien
We spent 5 days in First Stockton at the Hill Top RV Park. The park is nice and well kept but there really isn’t much to do around Fort Stockton. We spent most of our time in and around the RV and enjoyed a quiet Christmas Day with just the two of us.

Our first stop is at San Angelo State Park, our first Texas state park camping experience. We have heard good things about camping in Texas state parks and this one has not disappointed. The sites are large and level with plenty of room between sites. We have now traveled far enough west that the landscape is very different with small trees, grassland, and cactus.

We arrived here on Sunday the 9th and our installer, Bill Murray, stopped by a couple hours later to look things over and formulate a game plan. At this time he left the six 180 watt panels and the two 300 amp hour batteries at our location. The installation would begin the next morning at 8:30 am.

The first place we tried to book was full so we started looking at options and chose this RV park over the more expensive KOA. Amy didn’t realize when booking the park that the town was also named Cut And Shoot, albeit with “and” spelled out vs. ‘N’. This is a small rustic park, where most of the sites are occupied by full time residents in relatively old (>10 yrs) rigs. People do seem nice as we did talk to a few neighbors but weather kept our activities to a minimum.

When we arrived in southwest Louisiana, just a few miles from the Texas border, it was sunny with temperatures approaching 80 degrees (sorry, friends in the northeast). The name of this place makes most RVers cringe but it is a very nice suburban park with many pull throughs and all sites are level concrete slabs. We got setup in our pull through site, put out the awnings and sat down for our new tradition of having a beer after our traveling for the day is over. The weather prompted us to have grilled chicken for dinner. Even though it was dark by the time we wanted to cook and eat, the LED lights on the awnings provided more than enough illumination to enjoy the warm weather while it lasted. The next two days were still projected to be sunny but temps more in the low 60’s.
