Our last morning here and a decent night's sleep cannot not imagine how I slept in until 5:30 this morning. But we are in no rush today. Just got some walkabouts, coffees and computing done, puttered around for a while secure the coach and headed on down the road about 9.45. Only 45 miles to go taking some wonderful Texas back roads to Glen Rose Texas.

Passing by the Big Rocks Park
a wonderful place on the river to explore |
The is a park that we love and have been to many times in the past, last time here was 4 years ago with our good friends Rob and Pat Aljoe. So much that we love about the park and the area is really nice to come back again. Another Membership park this one Coast To Coast cost us $10.00 a night with full hookups plus very good free wifi now that is a nice bonus! Tres Rios is Spanish for Three Rivers where the Brazos River, Paluxy River and Squaw creek come together.

| This be the place, nice to be back again |
We checked in at 11 am and asked if Renea and Lamar were here, What a bonus Renea was in her office and came out the greet us. We first met them in 2006 at Abita Springs Louisiana, our very first time in the south for the winter. We had just pulled in and set up and she drove by saying a tornado warning come to the clubhouse, now ! Ok our first experience with this, stowed our awning and heading to the clubhouse, met a lot of people our first night here. She took us on a bunch of tag-alongs and we became friends. Always keeping in touch, met up again in Styx River Alabama, back at Abita Springs and here at Tres Rios Texas what an amazing friendly couple they are and do an awesome job managing these parks.

That was our great day relocating and back to a campground that we enjoy once again.
Thank y'all for tagging along and hope you had a great day too.
Want to learn more about Membership camping
at Rock Glen Family Resort ?
Where have we been this winter ?
That looks like a very nice park with a lot of options for the campers. With three rivers, I am sure there is canoeing and kayaking and maybe even a little fishing??

DeleteI know I would love to walk those trails along the river with our dogs. Even those big rocks by the river would call my name to climb on and around them. Think we put it on our list for places to visit.
ReplyDeleteI love these trails as well so peaceful and the big rocks are great to climb around as well. A nice interesting small town and area to explore.
