“Wait…what did Jenny just say!?” Jenny was the new RV park host.
This was mid-March, 2020 at 4:30pm. Lezlie and I were enjoying Happy Hour, which takes place most days in the Lizard Lounge- The RV park’s outdoor meeting place lined with cracked plastic lawn chairs, aging wooden tables covered with frayed blue tarp, and a sheet metal gable roof to fend off the sun. COVID-19 had begun to spread across the US.
“I think she just said that the RV park was being forced to close,” I panic-whispered back to Lezlie.
As full-time RV travelers, we like to avoid RV parks because of the tight spaces, crowds, and other objectionable quirks. This park, however, has a special place in our hearts because of its remote location, large RV sites, and incredible views, among other things.
To call this park remote doesn’t quite do it justice. It’s located 60 miles west of Big Bend National Park, which is touted as being the most remote National Park in the country, so it’s out there- far from any interstate, movie theater, or hospital.
We decided in late 2019, after several Xscapers convergences, to spend three months at this RV park to help minimize distractions and get some serious work done on our business.
“What are we going to do, now!?”
