BUCKHORN LAKE RV RESORT - KERRVILLE, TEXAS

This is our site at Buckhorn Lake RV Resort. Behind us is a very nice tennis court. To the left is an open field and some distance away I-10. To the right is Goat Creek which is a gentle meandering creek we are enjoying.We have been watching this white "red bud" evolve from a little bud to some green to this beautiful white flowering and soon its leaves with start to come out.
We are in a valley surrounded by hills covered with live oak and cypress trees with cactus everywhere. It is very dry here. A semi-desert climate that is experiencing a drought.
The spring weather is rather interesting as day time is usually in the 70s to low 80s with night time dropping to the low 40s and 50s. The mornings start out foggy, cloudy, or misty, but tend to blossom into a blue sky with passing clouds.

This is the kitchen-side view of our RV
This tree, even without its leaves, is very striking. Goat Creek flows another 4 miles or so into the Guadalupe River which flows through Kerrville and past a great restaurant called Rivers Edge Tuscan Grille. We had lunch there for my birthday and sat in a section that was over the Guadalupe.

Wubie likes climbing these oak trees.
It's a bit breezy at times.

This is the fireplace inside the barn, at Buckhorn, which serves as a clubhouse and restaurant.
The outdoor patio with grill and bar and oil pan seats.

What's up?
The white patchy thing is a huge barbecue and the little black grill is for Sunday evening where we bring our own meat to grill and a side dish to share. We have really enjoyed these Sunday dinners.
