Days 1-3 September 6-8
Avinger Station, Texas
Yes, you can go home again and again, and stay in a different campsite each time.
We get a late start to our summer trip, but in the South of Texas, Summer lasts a long time. We head north in El Caballo to Avinger Station RV Park, where the temperature drops the farther we go. We find our assigned site and easily drive into the pull-through.
The last time we were in Avinger we stayed in a nice pull-through by the highway, and today we are on the main campus, which has gently rolling hills that are easily navigated as we walk about. The landscaping is awesome with towering pine, pecan and oak trees - and I am blown away by a newly planted magnolia tree about 14 inches high that has a bloom about to open.
As we explore during our morning walk on the first day, we discover The Bridge, rightly named because it overlooks a low area in the terrain. Inside are complimentary washers and dryers, and chairs for reading books from its library while laundry is being done.
Down the hall is a workout room, complete with several machines, a restroom with a walk-in shower, and a sauna with robes.
A seven minute walk takes us to dinner on Saturday night at Corbett’s Catfish & More restaurant, where we meet the new owners, Kristen and Wayne Kerr. The entrees give you more than you can eat.
Sunday lunch is grilled quail.
We remember fondly the brother of former owner Sterling Corbett, who sang and played musical instruments during the dinner hour. We were always tempted to order another meal just to sit and listen to him.
A more recent memory is a building we owned for many years, but have sold to Avinger ISD.
There’s a lot of history in this building for us - and in the garden beside it and the private motorhome hookup site behind it.
