Craig arrived and began his Father's Day enjoying a bicycle ride through Barton Creek Greenbelt in downtown Austin. It is beautiful!
Craig took a drip in the spring fed water! Looking good and happy!
Craig parked the RV at Pecan Grove RV Park. The best way to get a feel for the laid-back, funky feel of Austin is to stay at Pecan Grove RV Park, located in town next to Barton Springs and Zilker Park. But don't expect luxury accommodations; this is a small, shady campground with ancient hookups, cramped campsites, old restrooms and mediocre laundry facilities.
Most sites are filled with year-round tenants who landscape with yard art and homemade fences, and they make it tough to get in without a reservation. Management doesn't take credit cards, and if you're lucky, they'll write down your reservation on a post it and put it on the calendar, or maybe they'll just memorize it. Always call ahead to confirm your stay.
So why would anyone want to stay there? Because what Pecan Grove lacks in amenities, it more than makes up for with a funky ambiance and stylish hippie flair reminiscent of all that makes Austin such a great place to be.
Residents are generally nice and talkative, and the park's location is within walking and biking distance of the Sixth Street entertainment district, breweries, coffee houses and restaurants, such as Chuy's Mexican Food, where President Bush's teenage daughters were cited for underage drinking.
Craig and I enjoyed the Shady Groves Restaurant. Great shrimp and live music.
We enjoyed more bicycle riding on the river on Friday. We rode 15 miles!
We are starting to agree with this sign! We loved Austin!
