We brought the Good News UMC youth here several years on mission trips so this area has a special place in our hearts. We also have been here to pick grapes at Cathedral Mountain twice. We are mostly here just for r & r. Taking it easy. Pretty RV place with pool.
Small world story: the man who checked us in at the RV Park is from Waco. He and his wife were house parents at the Waco Children's Home (where the Davidian children and LDS offshoot children were taken) where Fred's grandfather worked. Fred grew up blocks from the Children's Home. This couple helped start the UMC in Lewisville and belonged to Tritsch UMC. So we had all kinds of friends in common.
We worshipped at Alpine UMC Sunday and a friend, Dick, preached. Dick, who is now retired, was the Wesley Foundation Pastor at Sul Ross University. We stayed at the Wesley Foundation when we brought kids here for mission trips. They had a lunch after church and we got to reconnect with Dick and his wife, Jean.
