Lovely this morning but it was breakfast in anyway. We watched a group of airmen setting up for what looked like a retirement party with color guard and everything, so we headed out with Rudy just as their ceremony started. We didn't want to leave him here with all the commotion right beside the camper. We stopped and got a pizza then drove to a nearby state park for a little picnic lunch. The lake is at only 14 percent of water capacity but nice anyway. We had a nice lunch but the trails were just a little to narrow to take Rudy on. The cactus plants were right to the edge of the trail. We drove all around the park and finally found a mile loop of road we could walk. It was kind of funny to see boat ramps that are 100 yards away from the water. We would love to see it again when it is full. Back to the camper another great day to sit outside for happy hour.

Sitting area at
Miss Hattie's

Breakfast on the grill cleaned up and headed to town by 11:00. We walked through several antique stores and mercantile. The highlight of the day was lunch at Miss Hattie's Restaurant and Cathouse Lounge. We split a club sandwich and soup which was very good. And then a tour of Miss Hattie's Bordello. It was really cool, the bordello operated from 1902 until 1952 when the Texas rangers came to San Angelo just to shut it down. The girls all left town and Miss Hattie simply locked the doors. No one touched anything until 1975 when someone realized the historic significance and turned it into a museum. The beds, furnishing, clothing and personal items are just like they were in 1952. Several "girls" settled locally so they had to remove the last names from the record book. With the authenticity it was one of the best finds we came across lately. Back to the campground and wow the place has just exploded with tent campers and day use gatherings. People and KIDS running through the camp site, they were everywhere. Leftovers for dinner locked the doors and off to bed.
Sunday 21 April 2019 (Happy Easter)
Happy Easter to everyone. We had a beautiful sunrise and a warm sunny day. I made chorizo, egg and cheese wraps with all the fixin's for Easter breakfast. The tent campers and picnic people were not bad at all. We spent the day cleaning and packing for our trip tomorrow. And once again I waited the entire week before I cleaned the windshield and once again it was hard to clean. The crowd started to thin out by 3pm or so. Diane had made us baked ham, pickled eggs, coleslaw and potato salad for Easter dinner. A very nice day.
