Mule Shoe, Texas ; a great little town with a Big Heart!

I'd heard there was a large cold front coming across the plains and on eastward. So I didn't know whether to follow my planned route or "chicken out" and get south as far and fast as I could. But that little town of Mule Shoe sounded interesting from what one of the RV'ers on a facebook rv group was saying about it, and I had been across I-10 a dozen times already, not counting times in the truck with hubby. I was ready for something new so I decided I'd visit Mule Shoe, regardless of the forecast. On the way there I saw several miles of those huge windmills. They have always fascinated me, so high up on strong steel poles, their blades moving in a rather slow rhythmic pattern, On the ground beneath were fields of the remains of recently harvested cotton.

At the east end of town are huge cattle yards and an auction barn, A National Wildlife Refuge is on a road south of town, and had it been warmer I would have visited it. The town also has a very large antique store and many varied and interesting items were displayed outside.  As it was not only cold , but windy as well,  I forego visiting these places of interest.  I'm sure it would have been well worth my time. I can only hope to revisit some point in the future.

The nice thing was that in the center of town there was an empty gravel lot with hook-ups for 7 or so RV's, and all free for up to three days, then a small fee. What a nice accommodation  for a town of this small size! I stayed one night there and just hooked up to electric as I had water on board and had just dumped my black and gray water tanks in Abilene.

As night began to fall I noticed the muleshoe shaped decorations on the lightposts clear down the main street of town, adding a very unique atmosphere.

The next morning I was ready to put miles behind me and get to a warmer ( I hope) place.

 I would liked to have stayed longer but with the cold and me not feeling all that great, I felt it best to get on over to Clovis and get started SW to Alamagordo, NM.

Thanks for visiting!
