Well, you definitely will win for the next week, there's no denying that. starting today was only the fifth day I've worn long pants all winter but it looks like I'll add another five or six days.

RE: RGV
There are many flea markets and farmers markets throughout the valley.
fruit and produce is almost giveaway cheap.
A few less vendors this year due to covid.

RE: RGV
Last year, there is a "newspaper" full of activities within the RGV rv parks. You are welcome to visit any of the events at any rv park.
activities are much more limited this year and many parks are not open to outsiders due to covid. hopefully this changes back to the old norm soon.

RE: RGV
you would likely want to allow more than one day there are approximately 400 RV parks and retirement communities in the valley. going from Brownsville and South Padre island all the way to Palmview and beyond.

RE: Another article on Snowbirds, or the lack thereof
We are in an ownership park in South Texas, About 80% full, but we miss our Canadians.
RV sites or permanent units?
We have a mix of RV sites, park models, mobile homes, and even brick homes. The few vacancies are fairly equally distributed among these sites. Most recent years we have been close to 100% full. The park has been eerily quiet though. very few happy hours and if so they are small groups. nearly no activities and outside of the park visitors discouraged.

RE: Virus and RGV Rv parks
“We have no cases in our park...”
Every person in your park has been tested? Retested? No one is asymptomatic? And lastly, every one telling you the truth?
----------------
sorry, it would be more accurate to say no known cases.

RE: Virus and RGV Rv parks
Pawatt I’m familiar with your park.. How are those residents doing and have you heard anything about the parks on your road?
We have no cases in our park but have friends and acquaintances in many parks some which have active cases, not many but several. There are cases in the park next door. Our next door neighbor is a care giver there.

RE: Virus and RGV Rv parks
Yes, I know of cases in several parks, not a lot but several. Some people quite seriously ill. The Valley has some pretty strict restrictions and recommendations. Unfortunately some ignore them.

RE: Looking For S. Texas Parks
take a ride over to palmview and check out the parks on Benson Palm drive. you might find something you like here. from 200 to $900 a month. be sure to check mission West, greengate Grove, Americana, and Val's country corral. they're also several others. Golden Grove is very reasonable but no pool. we are on the bike trails and state park next door.
Palmview? Hmm. That's a little further west than I was planning to go, but I mapped it and it's only 25 minutes from here. We might swing out that way. Is there any particular thing you like more about that area?
1 mile off freeway so no traffic noise but easy access. Close to Bentsen Rio Grande State Park and World Birding center. Close to Mission Nature Park, Close to National Butterfly Center. Easy access to paved bike trails. 4 HEB stores within a couple miles, 3 Wal Marts within a couple miles. Good Medical care in McAllen and Edinburg. Riverside Club on the Rio Grande. 2 Big Flea and Farmers Markets close by. Less wind than lower Valley. We are in Green Gate Grove, We own our lots here but several lots for rent by owner, Office has a list. You will want to check out all the parks south of the freeway and also on Business 83, Mission West is nice. On the Rio Grande Chimney Park off South Conway and on South Inspiration Road 7 Oaks Park. Americanna on Bentsen Palm Drive, Bentsen Grove, Green Gate Grove, Golden Grove, Cheap, Large lots but no Pool or spa. Lamplighter, Privately owned lots with some for Rent by owner, Vals Country Corral, Small friendly park, salt water pool. Couple run down parks, Retama Village, Very high test. Bentsen Palm Village Resort, Hi Test, expensive.
Good Luck, let us know what you find.
