TODAY IS SOMEDAY
Have to agree Alsatian is a great resort, Mike and Janet are the best! Spent a few months there each of the past 5 winters. Our second year we met this “young couple” just starting a RUclips channel called “You, Me and the RV”. Canceled our reservations for this year as our daughter’s husband received orders for Colorado Springs. I would also recommend Haby’s Bakery. Phil, hope for you a speedy recovery and Stacy lots of patience and margaritas during his recovery! Thanks for all you do for our Veterans!
Prayers for a quick recovery and no more surgery🙏
OK Phil, you might be careful advertising the fact that you get your coffee with French Vanilla cream. There are those that will say that if you have flavored cream in your coffee you have to surrender your M.A.N. card. I'm not one of them but they're out there. (I enjoy a little French Vanilla on occasion too, especially if it's ice cream). That looks like a good place for the fall/spring and the price for the non-casida sites isn't too bad on a monthly basis. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
I hit the wrong button; San Antonio Texas, back in ‘99. We went to the zoo, Alamo, River walk, Sea World. We all enjoyed it, our boys learned a lot about Texas history. Y’all be safe, Phil listen to your Nurse when she’s happy, so will you. My wife and I are realizing that getting older also includes ache and pains. Fortunately no surgeries yet.
Phil. You are over the hump. I had a knee shoulder and hip and in the fall I will get the other knee done! And Stacey deserves kudos to! You can t do it alone. Richard and Virginia
Texas has a bunch of beautiful places plus it’s a big state, born here in early 50’s, still here. My wife, our two boys were in Santon
I feel for you Phil, I've had one shoulder done and will probably end up getting one or both knees done before it's over. Get better soon and do all your PT. Some of those therapist are brutal but they will get your mobility back for you.
LOVE the shirt, Phil!! 😎
Hope you heal completely and quickly. Phil. I know Stacy is taking good care of you. Since you are familiar with San Antonio, you probably already know about Aloha Kitchen, just across the street from the Ft Sam golf course. They serve a great Loco Moco (I get mine with Spam) and my darlin' bride loves their Macadamia Crusted Chicken. Y'all stay safe and keep on truckin'.
You guys missed a great Rally in Wyoming. I had a great time at Tiffins 50TH anniversary rally. You guys have to come to a rally soon.
Phil, I wish you the best on the knee replacement. I had mine done last August, take it easy and don’t over do it. I am sure you’re in good hands with Nurse Stacey keeping you under control.
I can feel for you i have had both knees replaced 5 surgeries on my shoulder enjoy watching y'all have fun
You are an answer to our prayers! We have been looking for a winter time RV spot in Texas and you answered our needs! Thanks for the great recommendation; maybe we will see you “on the road”!
Brackenridge Campground, Edna Texas. My dads favorite Texas campground. He has wintered there for the last 12 years. It’s clean, quiet, off the beaten track and he can have a campfire.
We just departed from San Antonio, I wish we would known about this resort. We stayed at JBSA RV park which is pretty nice as well. We are currently sitting at Athens, NRVTA, taking the fundamentals and inspectors course. Take care thank you for sharing. I recommend you go to SAVOR, in the pearl area. Four course meal really classy and good. Safe travels and hope all goes well for Phil. God Bless!!!
My mouth fell open when you mentioned “the casita.” I am picking up my Casita in September, so automatically my mind’s eye pictured a MAJOR downsize for you guys, and my head almost exploded! 🤯💚
106 here is Dallas today - hot is an understatement!
It's great that you got your knee fixed. I need to lose 60 lbs to get mine done.
I have heard that the Audie Murphy VA hospital is pretty great. The VA hospital in Baltimore is pretty good also.
Maybe see you next time you visit the Academy.
Wow, awesome park. It's now on my list!!!
When exploring the Greater San Antonio area a hidden gem day trip is the Welfare Cafe, which is off of I-10 between Comfort and Kerrville. If you haven't been there, it is definitely a must see.
I also love the Welfare Cafe.
I had a total knee done too. It does take some time to recover. I used a walker for about a month and was still a bit stiff for about 9 months. But after about a year, I was good to go. That sounds like a long time, but after 10 years of gradually increasing to severe pain, my knee is great now.
I had both knees replaced 4 months apart. Then hip replaced 6 months later. Hip is a piece of cake.
Get well soon!
Had left knee done 10 years ago. Right knee done 3 April.....10 years makes a difference. Know you are great.
I Love that shirt, Phil
That looks awesome, thank you for sharing.
Nice place! Reasonable rates no matter what you take. Better than some places in Florida.
I like your videos, im about to be a disabled veteran so im seriously considering rv life. Your videos are nice to help make that decision.
I’ve been watching your channel for three years it’s a great channel. It’s been informative and fun I Reiterate FUN…!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I didn’t read all of the comments but there seems to be so much negativity about this campsite. I don’t have a Rv …yet, and love watching where I’m planning to go when I get mine. I’m a veteran and love to see where the two of you travel to and also see some bases you go to. To each their own. Let’s appreciate what we have, and where we can go. Thank you for your videos.
We stayed at Travelers Rv Resort as it was within walking distance to the River Walk. However,, that was a Saturday/Sunday,3 or 4 weeks ago and the temps were 115! Needless to say no river walk and continued on to Florida via i10 and never saw double digits until back home in Commiefornia
Looking forward to the next vlog,
Nice place to recover at! I had knee replacement surgery, I live alone so they sent me to a Rehab facility. The only good thing about the place was the food and the electric Go karts in the basement, which I and another cop was kick off for speeding and reckless driving.🤣
awesome as usual guys!!! love Phils shirt!!! stay safe and get well
Phil, feel your pain on the knee. I was a 35 yr. member of Local 387 Ironworkers Atlanta, GA. I retired on Jan. 1st of 2017. Three days later I had a total right knee replacement and PT is the key. Yes it hurts but they told me the first day that only about 5% of the people can do a full rotation on the bike on day 1. That just gave me more drive and I did it. They put you through the ringer but it makes the recovery so much faster. I finished my PT 2 weeks ahead of what was normal and got back to full normal so much faster. Grit your teeth and power thru. You will be glad you did. Best of luck Phil. Stacy, keep Phil grinding through this.
Be Safe and Happy Travels !!!!!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL !!!!!!!
What a nice RV resort. Thanks for the tour. Perfect place for Phil's rehab. Happy Trails!!
Phil had my knee replacement about 14weeks ago it’s a game changer keep up the PT keep moving that knee good luck and safe travels 👍
I'm 3 weeks behind ya. Still dealing with minor swelling, but getting better. Thanks.
Understand why you like the place and certainly understand why it's lightly used in the Summer. Phil - sympathy for your wheel replacement. Best wishes for your recovery.
We can't believe those candles- wow! It's hot there! We were on the site next to you back in February! It's such a great RV resort and we are planning on heading back there! The area is a hidden gem & we loved the restaurant at the golf course- Julianna's Restaurant! Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
We live 30 min from there in Helotes and love that resort. It’s right up there on our fav list with the Buckhorn in Kerrville for us.
I had TKR in 2017. Best thing I ever did. Tore the meniscus x 2 while on FD. Couldn’t sleep at night could not drive more than 90 minutes without having to stop. Now I have total flexion and extension and no pain. I can even run on it but only 3 times a week and about 3 miles. It does rattle in the morning but I’m good with that. Keep up on the PT I guarantee it gets better and you’ll be happier.
Wonderful place, my thought is at 105+ degrees, with a fan on, is called convection oven cooking. glad the knee is better . lol D
Good luck on your recovery. SAMMC is sending me to the off base surgical center to do mine in January. You should have shown Juliana’s Restuarant at the golf course club house. There’s also, a Harvest Host winery about 4 miles away for a quick overnight. Next time your there checkout some of small restaurants in Hondo.
Love your channel! I know this little town. Our daughter used to live on I-90 west of San Antonio. It was much easier to go to Castroville to run errands and we found the people were so polite. Glad you have such a nice place to recoup!
Phil, I just had the VA fix my knee (torn miniscus) I am doing so much better now, #thanksVA. I know knee replacement is much harder, but life is so much better when you can walk without pain. Get in a pool whenever you get the chance. Love you guys and thanks for your great videos, they helped me get through the pandemic. Live long and prosper.
Lived in Castroville from 2006-2011. My wife worked at the state bank. Great little town. The golf course is great.
I can sure identify with your pain. I had a knee done and then a shoulder done a couple of years later. Follow all the PT they tell you to do. You won't want to. But, they know what they are talking about. I have full flexibility in my knee and shoulder. I am 71 and it's nice not to have pain in those areas.
Leaning tower of candle. LOL
Great video, we are currently at the military famcamp at Ft Sam. You are correct, this is not the time of year to be in an RV in TX. Get well Phil and safe travels
My hubby has had a knee and both shoulders done since living in our camper…better than ever! Glad you are healing up enough to “hit the road”! Take it easy though…
Looks amazing! Once we get out that way, we will def make a stop here. Beautiful!
I need to make you a Margarita, with Baja Bobs!!!! 100% Carb FREE!!!! You will LOVE it....! If you come to Tennessee be sure to let me know...!!!!! Love the resort!!!!!
Thank you again. I live in Alamo Ranch so I'm right down the street.
Nice! We wanted to stay there while our house is being built only to find that they have a 10 year trailer restriction. Oh Well, but at least we found a place with trees to help with the heat. Glad Phil is doing better, and keep up the PT! No one can fix you better than yourself. God Bless.
On your first map…I saw WhataBurger! How we miss WhataBurger!
Glad to know you are recovering well Phil!
We rented a house on the 13th green of the PGI golf course. We had our back windows broken from golf balls… it happens. We had 2 dozen balls in 1 year! Glad you are on the mend! I would say go Navy, but my Air Force in me will not allow. Be safe, enjoy! Thanks for educating all of us
Thanks for sharing the resort. I was actually shocked at how reasonable the price is.
WoW! That’s incredibly reasonable. So glad you have such a comfortable place to recoup Phil. We absolutely love San Antonio.
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 17 Jul 22.
We used to stay there at the Landmark Inn in Castroville when going to San Antonio before we got the RV. At that time they rented out that little 2 room 2 story bath house & we stayed upstairs. Then in the morning they had a continental breakfast in a separate building. Loved it there.
Great video guys,looks like a beautiful resort. Get well soon Phil,safe travels.
This area of Texas has so many hidden treasures. Thanks for sharing our part of the world. What a beautiful resort in our neck of the Hill Country 😍
Alsatian is a hidden gem (15 minutes from my house). PRO TIP: Try the restaurant in the Golf Course.
This is our stop on our why to home-based in Rockport.
The resort is gorgeous. What a find.
So glad to see you guys. Glad you are on the mend!
I lived down in Kingsville for a couple years (navy). My son was born in Corpus Christi. :) I typically say the only thing good that came from Texas was my kid but lol I do have fond memories of the River Walk and San Antonio as well. I'm so glad you guys did a tour of this place. I haven't been back to Texas since 1995 but I've been considering it since buying my very first camper this year! Thanks for the info.
Can't wait to see your video on San Antonio!! We are heading that way this winter (as long as the diesel prices don't skyrocket!)
Thank you we are going right through they’re going to stop and check it out 👍🏾
Glad to hear your recovering Phil! That candle... Good Lord..... I'll leave it at that.... lol
Ok guys you've let the cat out of the bag on our place. It is a great spot. Stephen
Glad to see you up maybe not running yet. Take it easy .
That place is definitely beautiful. I had been wondering about it myself. Glad Phil is doing better. Safe travels!
My mom had a full right knee replacement 05/2021. I was her assistant during rehab, etc.
We lovetogoto Castroville.....Sammy's isgood......the bakery a treat and the Tractor Supply has lots of stuff and cowboy shirts. The quiet is good......
Phil,
Wishing you a fast recovery and also sending a wish for mucho patience to Stacey😄. I truly enjoy your videos. They are informative, friendly (almost family) and I look forward to them. Must be the vet thing. Thanks to you both and God speed.
Phil I understand about body parts wearing out and hurting but thank God we can still get up and move around some. That is a nice place and thanks for the tour. I look forward to the next video.
Since you brought up the "near misses" regarding the golf balls, while your lovely large RV window was in the background...what do you suggest for protection of your windshield while either stationary or in storage to prevent cracks from hail, golf balls, or say....the person parked in a slot in front of you spinning their tires and kicking a rock into your windshield. (Yup, it happened my first season, still haven't replaced the windshield after 5yrs until I nail down this answer LOL) Good to see you guys doing so well! Jen
Thank you for this review. Just finishing a 3 night stay and it’s such a nice park. Enjoyed our stay. Just the cheap seats but still VERY nice. And the adjacent restaurant is very good. Now off to New Braunsfeld
Glad you enjoyed it!
I noticed in reservations that you can ask for a specific site but your not guaranteed it. We experienced this type of reservation at another Texas campground. The reservation was made for 7 nights 90 days prior and was informed the site was open. At the time of the reservation I stressed how important it was to have one of 4 sites in the back of the campground opposite of the playground. We have been to this campground many times before so we knew we might get moved. I stressed that if we are moved to please keep us farther away from the clubhouse or playground since my 91 year old father retires early and gets up late. But apon arrival they put us next to the clubhouse in the middle of a large group that was set up to party. I tried to reason with the campground for a different site but since it was spring break they were full… well not really. Dad and I were extremely disappointed and after a long discussion about their style of reservation we stayed one night (poor dad, no sleep) got the other 6 days refunded in full and left. Now when I’m looking for campground reservations which I try to make 6 months in advance. if I see a campground saying they will not guarantee a site we pass it up.
San Antonio is wonderful.. Can’t wait to see the ‘local’ spots.
Thanks for the info….. take care of yourselves! Nice to find a nice park to stay when recovering! 👍
Hi guys - glad to see Phil is moving around really well. Thanks for the tour. It’s always nice to have a place to hang your hat when you’re full-time and have need “repairs” 🤣. We have been in Albuquerque for the last few months. It was me that needs a few of those “repairs”. 🤣. So I feel for you Phil. We are staying until after the ballon fiesta. Like you, we are getting antsy to get moving!! Safe travels! 😊❤️🇺🇸
What a great location to spend some time in. I could see having a lot to do even if you were to stay for an entire month! And great rates on top of it all! Hope the "tune up" goes smoothly Phil!
Phil, how much is the electric. You almost told us.
Great vid guys!!!! Hope your knee gets better soon Phil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spent a few days in San Antonio in 2020 and did the river walk & the Alimo, along with several other downtown places. We visited the other missions and found them very interesting since we do enjoy historic sights. Looking forward to seeing your next video to get an idea for our next trip through there.
We attended a DRV rally there a couple of years ago. I remember it being a very nice rv park. I loved the golfing also. I even caught a couple of fish from the pond. Might have to explore the possibility of coming back soon. Thanks.
For those with kids, San Antonio has a great children’s museum. Thanks for the recommendation of this resort!
Phil’s a Frankenstein, we know, He’s turning into a Marine! . LOL! Ooooohhh! Coming from an ex 75th Ranger. Hehehe!
We also love Alsatin and have stayed there several times, once in Oct and again this past June for our son's AF Basic Training. Both times we stayed in their Pull-Thru sites with our 45' coach. My favorite place to visit is HABY'S Bakery but you need to get there early to see everything they have before it sells out. Thanks for showing the other neat restaurants to visit. We'll have to try them next time we're there. Also. many thanks for showing the inside of the Casita. I wondered what they looked like inside. Oh, we had a GREAT meal over at the golf course restaurant. The Chinese Garden downtown was nice also. Looking forward to viewing your next video of the area. Safe Travels.
Thanks for the review of this park. We are staying there for a month this winter.
Great place to stay while you recoup. Praying for a fast recovery so you can get back on the road.
Have enjoyed watching your videos for a couple years now and I totally feel your pain this summer. My husband and I have been stalled in Arizona since April due to my three eye operations. It is super hot here and due to the gas in my eye we are unable to change elevation for another two months. We are in a lovely, but empty park in Phoenix and can’t wait to be back on the road.
I was at the Alamo on March 3rd. I wish I had known about the town you're in. There is nothing nicer than a good Italian restaurant when on the road. Best wishes to Phil for a great recovery.
Nice resort. Definitely put in on our list. Fredericksburg peaches should be getting close if not already picking.
We stayed at Alsatian two years ago for a month on a casita site. The resort is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
There's a great bakery in Castroville- on 90.
There is a really nice little RV park about 20 miles away in Hondo which is a great little town.
We are off grid just west of Del Rio.
Glad you doing well after surgery.
Looks wonderful there are yall both limping, it hell to get old.
Yes it is!!
