Fort Stockton/Van Horn

Yup, another day of marathon driving. Fort Stockton had some campgrounds, but we thought we could make it further - all the way to Van Horn. After finding the playground in Ft Stockton and avoiding the broken glass, Zoe burned off enough energy to sit for another 2.5 hrs - so that we could make it from the right middle of nowhere to the left middle of no where. Van Horn KOA really is a dirt patch about 1/2 mile from the local truck stop. You can see the beautiful surroundings and neighbors in the pics. Anyway - did some laundry, took Zoe to the swings and then planned on leaving early the next morning for a huge driving day.


Again, very cold with the sun setting - the heater kicked on again. Brrr.

Yup - this is the playground. Before the playground, we stopped at a large grassy area outside the Demming courthouse - and we were stalked by the local huge German Shepperd - I was nervous enough that I made Zoe play just outside the courthouse doors so that if he came for us we could dive inside.

Click on this pic to enlarge - you will see a little black dog chasing a white van towing a trailer - we followed this chase for about 2 miles looking for the playground - that little dog never gave up or even slowed. I hope he was able to sink his teeth into that scrumptious trailer!
