The Escape from Texas




The temperatures in Zapata had been creeping higher and higher throughout April. The next 10 days forecast predicted 3-digit temperatures every day. It was time to leave our wonderful winter home and head someplace cooler.


The packing was systematic and efficient. The plan was to depart Zapata and hole-up for a couple weeks in the high desert and mountains of New Mexico where temperatures were in the 50’s at night and 70’s in daytime. That would be a 2-day trip for us with an overnight stop.


















The overnight stop was in Sanderson, Texas at Canyon’s RV Park.


Due to Covid-19 the arrangements and check-in were done by phone and a paper form dropped in a cash box with payment.








The place was pleasant, clean, and perfect for an overnighter. The park is sandwiched between a railroad track and highway. There was an occasional train whistle and some road noise, but after a hard day’s drive, a cold one, and supper, we slept like babies. We would gladly pay another visit to Canyons. The next morning, we were “on the road again.”
