Hillsboro, TX: North Texas Airstream Park

Ever since our our 2004 Landmarks West Airstream Caravan, we have wanted to get together with a fine couple we met on that 52 day memorable western tour. Bill and Sue are avid Bridge players and active Airstreamers. They may even hold the record for number of Airstream caravans completed. Their gaited community requires that all residents own an Airstream RV. Their home is lovely, and they even have a guest pad with full hookups. We enjoyed the convenience of staying in our own rig but parking right next to our friends for a week.

The park has many amenities, and the homes sell for a reasonable price. The residents are truly friendly, and Bridge players are plentiful. While most of our Bridge games were with Bill and Sue, we also played with several others in the park. There was an evening at the clubhouse with a potluck dinner and games afterward. We had the high Bridge scores for the evening and won the "big money"--about two dollars between us.
Ironically, the Sunday NFL game was between the Redskins and rival Cowboys. A couple, who were Bill and Sue's friends, had a party in their home. Jerry, the only Washington fan in the room besides Gloria, cheered loudly for the Skins, who walloped Dallas. Bottom line: We enjoyed our week at the Airstream park, but we may not get invited back.

One of the highpoints of the week was a trip to Waco with Bill and Sue. We drove through the scenic Baylor University campus and toured the Texas Ranger Museum. The latter is a "must do" for those traveling through Waco on I-35.
