Magnus Goes Caving, Finally! Day 2

 Thursday 13 March

Very short drive from Cedar Ridge to Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort. We were worried about getting there too early, so we dawdled around before leaving. But we arrived at exactly 12:58. Right at check-in time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Review: Horseshoe Ridge RV Resort

A very nice RV park if you can afford it

 Way more expensive than we can usually afford, but if we'd taken advantage of the pool and the various get-togethers, we'd have come close to getting our money's worth. Great dog park, too! 

It was very quiet and seemed mostly adult oriented; I didn't see any kids around and didn't see a playground either, but I might have missed that. But the people were very nice and in the evening (Friday) when they had some sort of party, it was full of soft talking and laughing and just general good fun. No loud voices or roaring engines; just people hanging out and chatting, here and there in the lounge area and at various motorhomes. Nice.

A surprising amount of green grass for the hill country--don't know how they afford the water. And a number of oak trees that they've preserved from the clearing. It's not exactly a bird watching destination but there were a few around in the little oaks.  The lighting was modest and well-placed, adding to the calm and pleasant atmosphere.

Concrete pad; we chose one of the cheaper back-ins on the outer rim but the pull-thrus were somewhat spacious (for an RV park) and some of them had picnic tables.

No problem with water, electricity or sewer.  Very pleasant check-in experience.

In the afternoon we went on a drive to see the Jacob's Well Natural Area, which was only a 5-minute drive away. But the signage said "no dogs". So bah. Instead I decided to have Ed drive down to Canyon Lake to check out a COE park I'd never heard of there. I suspect it was either closed for a while or else just didn't have RV camping. In any event, all the facilities were closed but we were still able to hike the trail for a little ways. No birds, though. But at least we got a chance to look for them.
