Met some great people from the UK.

We had some guests from the UK arrive the other day and are staying with us for a few days.

So we took the opportunity to take them for a tour of our lower area and had the chance to see some deer as well as the normal flocks of different birds.  They remarked how quiet it was and they found it beautiful.

After our tour we came back to the top and (being off work) we had a glass of wine while discussing the different culture of our two countries.  Our conversation lasted for a couple of hours and was interlaced with laughter and insights from all of our experiences.

The point to this story is not so much this particular incident but more so an example of what happens in campgrounds.

Campgrounds such as ours here at Alamo River attracts people from all over the US as well as the world.  There is a natural environment that is conducive to good conversation.  People that are camping are looking for relaxation and activities that are not the norm in the day-to-day pace of life we all live these days.

In this environment friendships even though brief can be incubated in a short time.

I have often wondered if we shouldn't have some of our government and world leaders go camping together -- under the stars -- with peace and quiet -- could be some interesting conversation...

...maybe just maybe also some progress for the betterment of this 'ol world.  :)

Easter Weekend...Great Experience!

We had a great Easter Weekend here at Alamo River!

The park was full with families for the Easter celebration.  There were all types of activities underway from Paddle Boats on the Medina River to Volleyball and of course fishing.

To see the families having such a good time was a real joy for us.

We continue to see more people that are coming here for the first time and enjoying themselves.

There were also a number of people that were traveling through the area and decided to stay with us for a few days.

A few of the things that we are working on:

• A Cross Country Course for horses is in the works.  We are working with a group of competition riders to design a one of a kind course not currently available in this part of Texas.
• We are now a full selection RV Parts Dealer -- we have access to over 17000 various RV Parts from Air Conditioners to Awing Repair Tape and everything in between.  Watch for the launch of the online portion of this venture in the near future.
• We continue to get inquiries about us hosting Events at the park.  We have partnered with suppliers of all types to support virtually any size outdoor event and the extent of what we can provide is only limited by the imagination.
• We continue to expand our Lower Campground along the river making more spots available for both Day Use and Overnight Visitors.
• There are some other surprises on the way so check back here and on our website at Alamo River RV Ranch Resort

Well that is all for now -- so stay tuned!
