2022 Travels #4 - San Antonio, Texas

-

The San Antonio/Alamo KOA was our next stop. This is a great park that has access to city hike & bike trails, a bus stop right across the street, a fishing pond, a swimming pool, the Patio Cafe where we enjoyed a great breakfast 2 out of the 3 mornings we were there, and a huge dog park. 






We visited San Antonio Missions National Historic Park.





Next up was to visit Margaritaville to celebrate 5 years of friendship with great friends. We had a good time taking pictures on the huge chair above the Riverwalk.








We ate yummy BBQ at the Smoke Shack.



We walked the Riverwalk, enjoyed "Crappy Hour" and had fantastic mexican food.




Echo loved the Riverwalk especially chasing the ducks and pigeons.

We left South Dakota on Wednesday, August 31; we got everything we needed to get done. We had two major things to get done in our 2 weeks, the first was to get Ernie's eyes fixed YAG Capsulotomy on both eyes and set up our domicile. We would definitely recommend Black Hills Regional Eye Institute if you are in Rapid City and need laser surgery. Our drive to Mountain Home, Idaho was uneventful, and we stayed in a couple of different RV parks in Wyoming. We arrived in Mountain Home about 2:30 pm and our first activity was to go to Boise to see the hot air balloons glow at night at the Spirit of Boise event. We all got some yummy food at the food trucks and hung out until the balloons were ready to glow. Saturday was a day for many adventures. First, Shoshone Ice Caves in Shoshone Idaho. The cave is considered a lava tube and is 1,700 feet long. We went in the cave about 100 feet below the surface. The temperature in the cave is an average between 22- and 28-degrees year-round. We all

  Sunday, we left Fredricksburg and drove to San Antonio. We stayed on  JB SA (Joint Base  San Antonio ) Fort Sam Houston. When we were making reservations for this leg of the trip, we tried to get into Lackland AFB but they were full. We love the Riverwalk area, we should have made this stay a little longer so we could enjoy it during the day and the night time. Since we had time, we decided to check out San Antonio Missions National Historic Site. Unfortunately 5pm snuck up really fast so we didn't get to see the 3rd site. Our plan was to see the Alamo when we walked the Riverwalk on Monday. Check out this tree, at some point it bent over and it appears the limbs have rooted. Pictures from Mission San Jose Pictures from Mission Concepcion The Church It was a perfect night to sit outside and watch Sunday night football. What a game it turned out to be, Mason Crosby kicked a field goal in the last few seconds.  Monday we headed out to walk the Riverwalk. We went early so there wasn

We were able to get quite a few sites in while in Mountain Home visiting family. Our first adventure was to Malad Gorge State Park and Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument.  Malad Gorge - Devil's Wash Bowl Malad Gorge downstream This bridge on I 84 eastbound is where a truck pulling a travel trailer went over the side of the bridge, click on the link to see the article.  Couple goes over bridge Waterfall downstream       Family Echo sporting his new shades. Cousins Waterfall at Woody's Cove A little bit about Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument. The visitor center has casts of the fossils that were found but you can't actually get to the fossil bed. The bed contained the largest concentration of Hagerman Horse fossils in North America. It is considered a national monument because it protects the world's richest known fossil deposits from the late Pilocene epoch, about 3 to 4 million years ago. Our 2nd adventure was to Massacre Rocks State Park, Register Rock and Ci
