The Road to Lajitas

After Del Rio we stayed 2 days in Alpine, TX. En route to Alpine we stopped in Sanderson, to visit what is probably the most eclectic store in Texas. Very artsy, much of it made in Mexico I think, and there are literally hundreds of thousands of items for sale.

Alpine is a small town best known for it's many food trucks (in season), outstanding kolaches from the Baker's Dozen Bakery, and the Holland Hotel. This is the lobby. Very, very, "Texas".

...and Harry's Tinaja, a roadside bar. Also very "Texas".

Harry's doesn't serve food, so being thirsty and a bit hungry we stopped at a nearby grocery store for a bag of nachos and guacamole which we enjoyed on Harry's patio, with a couple of "Dos XX's". A $10 lunch doesn't get any better.

I have been wanting to show some of the more extravagant RV's we have come across. Here is a short clip of a $2,000,000+ Marathon Coach leaving the park in Alpine. 

Driving from Alpine to Lajitas  is a real treat. The speed limit is 70 MPH on a winding and hilly two lane highway. About half way through the clip you can see a yellow sign suggesting you slow to 55 MPH for the next curve. 

The day we arrived in Lajitas it was 80 degrees, the next day 40 and rain.

Since we are staying in a private park and not a state or national park I hope to get the drone in the air for some aerial shots. Unfortunately, drones are prohibited in all state and national parks.
