Just a quick update - this was a short stopover (2 nights - 1 full day) - Fort Stockton is somewhere near the middle of nowhere between San Antonio and El Paso - too far for most to make the trip all the way to El Paso so it is a popular stopover point for RVers - it has several large RV parks. We traveled from Medina Lake campground to Fort Stockton on Wednesday (long trip - about 5-1/2 hours) and will be leaving in the morning (Friday) for New Mexico. We will be doing our first BLM (Bureau Of Land Management) free dispersed camping in the desert near Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. We will also be near the Guadalupe Mountains National Park so we may go there as well as Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

We did take time to hike the trail around the perimeter of the RV park - about 2 miles. We spent most of the day washing the truck and the RV and getting ready for boondocking - cleaning solar panels, filling our water tank, etc.
View from the trail with a mesa in the background ( I am learning the difference between a butte, a mesa, and a plateau - this looks like a mesa to me but it could be a large butte).
Oil rig from the trail - pic is a little blurry as the rig was about two miles away.
Enormous prickly pear cactus on the trail - it is about 5 feet high and 15 feet long.
Another hug cactus about 6 feet high and 12 feet wide
