Fall and Winter Plans

[Wallace Craig]

Age is not relevant; it having used the term frequently and forgetting that
others don't do likewise--Its South Padre Island (SPI) which as you probably
know is 18 miles from Brownsville. Great park there, Destinations RV park,,
which is right on the bay. Also a very large county run park, not as fancy but
cheaper. If you are day camping for that long, do you have solar? Wallace &
Faye at Azle, Tx

I guess I'm getting old Wallace. What is SPI? By the way, it is
all dry camping at Quartzsite, but loads of fun. If you camp where
we do in the Bureau of Land Management land south of time at Tyson's
Wash, then you have access to a dump station accross the highway and
water to boot, so no real need to sweat it if you can't operate in
an economy mode. I make it all the way for at least 10 days self
contained. Have done 14. You just have to learn to take Navy
Showers and don't waste any water. Typically the holding tanks due
just fine.

> Ron, your words about fuel cost are true and appropriate. You
have given yourself a full schedule and I am probably going to try
and do the same. I expect at least a good part of the winter to be
spent on SPI in the coach; from there is a item that has not been
negotiated as yet. Have never been to Quartzsite but I saw a TV
program about it in the last few days and it looks like an
adventure; how are opportunities for big rig hookup? Wallace &
