San Antonio - Lake Hills, TX


The drive to the San Antonio was really different from the other parts of Texas we have seen. This part is considered the “Hill Country” and that is an understatement. Miles and miles of rolling hills covered with trees and shrubs. You could probably drive 100 miles and not get 500 feet of straight level road to drive on. It was up and down and around and around curves the whole trip. So different from the flat desert with towering volcanic mountains every so often.

 Arrived at the Thousand Trails park in Lake Hills, TX. It's called Medina Lake and half the campground is right on the shore of the lake. Unfortunately they forgot to mention that the lake dried up years ago. The park is nice and only about 20 miles to San Antonio. Lots and lots of trees and deer wandering through the park. We got settled into a really nice spot amid the trees and then discovered these “mountain cedar” trees were in their pollen season. Our allergies were so bad the whole time we were there we cut our stay short. Supposed to be there 3 weeks but only made it a little more than a week.

Here's a morning visitor outside our back window.
