On our way from Austin to Fort Stockton, TX we went through a large area of these windmills. More windmills than people out here, no doubt.

We arrived at the RV park in Fort Stockton. The park was the only thing off the exit - the offramp led right to the park, then ended. Further down the highway was a little more of a real town but the area around the park looked just like this.

The scenery was lovely, so after getting settled I walked around with the camera. This is a long walk through the desert called Six Shooter Trail.

In front of Six Shooter Trail - a mailbox shaped like a gun. (Not quite sure why there was a mailbox here - no sign of human population down the trail.)

Wide shot of the park, which was only about 10% full. There sure isn't much to visit near here - obviously a park meant for overnighters.

In all directions were mountains and plateaus of various elevations. After being in cities our last few stops it was nice to spend a night in the middle of nowhere.

Another direction. Very impressive scenery.

Another direction off in the distance.

You get the theme by now; this points you to the trail.

And one more directional sign... (And after all this, we didn't even go down the trail!)

At the office's entrance, some unique cacti.

Close-up of the cacti at the park office. It's a little like a giant snake plant.

We were behind on laundry so we used the park's machines, and on the wall was this funny sign.
