and drove along highway 90 passed houses
until we reached Alpine ( yes, it is in the mountains, sort of.)
This is definitely the “west coast”(think California attitude) area of Texas. The only place without a Walmart. The only place that has it’s own cell phone system, which will not work with any other system, and charges you to use it. We arrived about 3:30, set up, and went for a walk. We asked about places to eat, and asked for something that wasn’t deep fried, we were given a “umm - well there is a place that has a good salad bar” - yes, we are still in Texas!!! We ate in. It was cold, but the sky was an amazing colour of blue, and at night, the star show took your breath away ( or maybe that was the cold ). Lovely spot.
