Red Oak Ranch in Hempstead, TX

We left Traders Village RV Park in Houston, TX at about 12 noon.   We drove 34 miles to Red Oak Ranch in Hempstead, TX.  This used to be a huge ranch and they have sold over 100 acres and made it into this really nice RV park.   It is in the midst of a huge ranch (El Gallo Rey which means The King Rooster) and a golf course.   It is very nice here.

This is the clubhouse which is a 6000 sq ft building.  It was once used as a church.

Several of the DeMontrond Travelers have been here since Sunday.  

After we got all set up, we drove into Hempstead with Janet and George.  We were looking for a place to eat so we thought this was a good place to stop.  We entered and it was a Bar with the restaurant (Julio's) on the side.  There were several people at the bar but we headed straight to the restaurant.

I have learned to use the timer, so I set the timer and ran back to be in the picture.   It took me about three tries before I got a good picture.  I got my exercise there.....oh no, I really need more than that!

How would you like this Mexican Girl making your tortillas?  Nice mural!

This restaurant has some really nice murals....

This young girl at a Charreada.....rodeo.

This young guitarist trying to win this young girl over!!!  Wonder if he succeeded?!

Back at the Ranch....This is the inside of the Clubhouse.   It is beautiful!   They have many events here.

The Clubhouse from the outside....there is a man made pond/lake behind it.  They have some really nice white rockers on the porches.

This is a smaller activity room, laundry room, etc.   It is also very nice.  Janet and I sat on the rockers here and visited for a while.  We had a lot to catch up on since we had not seen each other in 1 day!! This place is very relaxing and peaceful.

More members of the group are expected to arrive tomorrow.

Once it got dark, we played cards with Janet and George.....Had fun!
