After our 2 week stay at the Tropic Winds RV Resort, we had to find a place to stay, out of the Thousand Trails - Trails Collection system, for a week. No problem, there are many options down here. We are staying at the Trails Collection Encore resorts because we can stay 2 weeks at a time for free. With a week out of the system in between. We are definitely getting our money's worth out of our membership. It was $330.00 to add the Trails Collection to our Thousand Trails membership for a year. We have stayed 99 nights at our Trails Collection resorts so far this year.
Right now, we are at the Harlingen Elks Lodge # 1889.
A place to boondock is right next to the Lodge.
RV parking in back with hookups.
There is a pool here and a dump station.
Here we are.
We have 30 amp power and water, and there is a dump station here as well. Four other RVs around us appear to be stored here. We are paying just $12.00 a night. What a bargain!
We have been spending our time here visiting the local parks and walking their walking/biking trails. It has been in the 80s every day. Great weather.
One day, we drove down to see the Brownsville area. We didn't see a lot in town, but just outside of town, we saw the old battlefield site where they had the last engagement of the North & South troops during the Civil War. I had no idea that it was going on in this area.
And just down the road from that, along the Gulf of Mexico along the US/Mexico border, was Stargate. This is a SpaceX facility where Elon Musk's company builds rockets and launches them. There is a tracking station there also. Really cool.
And now some of our RV Christmas décor (and Lucy).
We will just do 4 days here, then we will head to McAllen for awhile.
The Fergs out .......
