Kerrville, Texas located in hill country

May 30 -31, 2025

Buckhorn Lake RV site 6012

Kerrville, Texas

Friday was travel day and seeing as we only had a little over an hour ride into hill country Dad was going to go to O'Reilly's before we departed and swap out the RV battery.  When we woke up to a heavy rain, he revised his plan.  By the time we were ready to depart the rain had cleared out and we headed for 1604 which would take us to I-10 for our trip to Kerrville.  An easy trip with surprisingly light traffic.

Our campground is just off the interstate and easy to locate.  The gal checking us in was helpful with good info providing us with not only the address but the phone number for O'Reilly's in Kerrville.  

First on the agenda after getting set up on our spacious, concrete pad with attached patio area was to remove the batteries.  Not an easy task as it involved removing the LP tanks on the door side of the rig as well as the sliding plate they rest on.  (Now you can understand why that wasn't a task anyone would want to perform in this morning's rain shower.)  Of course, once the batteries are disconnected, nothing is functional in the rig.  Momma and I guarded all the open bay doors and items that had been removed to allow access to the batteries while Dad and Pam made the exchange in town.  The outdoor temperature was comfortable so we didn't miss not having any operating AC or fans.

It was a quiet night without the alert going off, now that we have a super duty, deep cell, fully functional battery in place.  Hopefully, that will be the last 'issue' that we will have to contend with for a while.

Saturday morning, the two-legged decided to visit the Snowflake Bakery

for breakfast kolaches

Raspberry filling

Boudin filling

before heading to the farmer's market that was advertised in the campground office.

Momma, luckily for me, purchased some popcorn that we shared this afternoon.  I'm a big fan of popcorn!

That was much later in the day though, as they went on to Fredericksburg about 30 minutes away.  On the way, they passed some interesting signs. 

There were several low spots on the curving road that they traveled.

 In Fredericksburg, they visited some of the shops and antique malls.

As they returned to Kerrville, they decided a trip to Culver's would be a good stop to make before returning to me.  Dad was pleasantly surprised to see Culver's in Texas.  He sure enjoys his strawberry concrete treat.

I have to admit, the best part of MY day was when my ball came out of its resting spot in the bay.  I ran and ran on that short, golf course green grass until I was tripping over my tongue.

First Momma tossed my ball.  Then Pam tossed my ball.  Then Dad tossed my ball.  I just LOVE to play ball.  As you can see, there are lots of empty sites as this is the 'slow' season for this area.  That gives me a super play area.
