We arrived in Fredricksberg Tx on 4/7. cute town! due to COVID-19 pretty much everything is closed up. Darn, we want to come back to this town and explore further. We did go on a drive the other day. Willow City Loop. Such pretty scenery! Today we are going to check out Lady Bird Johnson county park. Hopefully it will be open. All the texas state parks are closed. We are at Hill Country rv park right in Fredricksberg. Lot #18. $180 for a week. It is a mix of a few short termers and people that live here yr round. The drive from Brownsville to Fredericksberg was uneventful with minimal traffic. except san antonio. a little busy there but not to bad.

April 2 2020
On a sadder note. Our best Canadian friend John died on March 8th. So sad for all who knew him. We were able to attend the funeral thru facetime and so glad we could do it that way. John was one of a kind and he is going to be missed beyond belief. We have facetimed with laurie on a number of occasions. she is holding up but this is really hard for her. She is hoping to join us for a couple of months next winter. I really hope that holds true.
some campground springtime beauty
yep, we are all bored here. someone is cutting a tree down and the golf carts lined up to watch the days excitement!
Toilet paper is a hot commodity!
Bode is getting so big! 3 months now.
the line at the HEB at 8am! that's just to get in!
of course it has been exceptionally hot and humid this month. we actually ran the air conditioning for days in a row!
Beth trying to steal some of my toilet paper. cant trust anyone!
the only plus these days. Gas and diesel are getting cheap. todays prices are $1.60 regular gas and $2.11 diesel.
3 weeks ago the shelves at Walmart.
campground baby ducks are getting big!
swan loves the fountains and daily showers
one of our last days out and about. listening to music at Lauguna Bobs. good band.
Wisconsin party. one of the last gatherings at the campground before things shut down.
well, we do get a pretty sunset.
Good bye John. you will be so missed. Walk them clouds with your buddy Marlon. I know he was happy to see you.
we loved our social hours!

Well, what a difference a month makes.....Corona Virus has overtaken the country. also known as COVID-19. Everything and I mean everything but essential businesses are shut down or a few restaurants are take out only. In a month the country has gone from a couple of cases and a couple of deaths to (todays numbers) 216,000 cases with over 5200 deaths. It has gone from a no big deal sort of virus to everyone is anxious and concerned. Face masks and disposable gloves are non existent on shelves. Along with toilet paper, papertowels, Kleenex, hand sanitizer, liquid soap. ALL Gone and has been for over 3 weeks. Grocery store shelves are nearly bare. No meat, poultry, deli meat, cereal, soup, pasta/rice, fresh produce very limited. no eggs. This is absolute craziness! I never thought I would see the day that lines were formed to get into grocery stores that were HOURS long. People hoarding, rushing to stores if word goes out that TP is available somewhere. .
Nursing homes and hospitals are in lockdown. Funerals are limited to 10 people, if there is a funeral at all. All activities at campground have stopped with the exception of people being allowed to walk or bike if a 6 foot distance is kept from anyone that does not live in your household. So we have gone no where except the grocery store on occasion to purchase what we could. For 3 weeks already..... We gather up with Beth and Todd in late afternoon for a game of bean bags and/or a cocktail but that is it. All the Canadians left 2 weeks ago as they were worried about borders being closed and not being able to get home.They must all do a 14 day self isolation when they get home too.This campground is pretty deserted.
We canceled our Big Bend trip as the campground closed and I doubt that the national park will be open by april 7. We still have our reservation in Fredricksberg tx next week when we are supposed to leave Brownsville but once we arrive there it will be a shelter in place sort of vacation. No businesses are open. Pine Harbor still says they will open may 1 but I seriously question that possibility. I have no idea where we will go if that doesn't open.
