We were on the waiting list at the Hondo, TX SKP co-op but after coming up in the list a couple of times we decided that it wasn't the place for us and we pulled our name back off.

We have friends there (Chuck and Kathy Donley) that volunteer. Chuck gives tours of Jojoba. A lot of the members there do volunteer work. Unfortunately, it was an overnight stop as we had reservations in Oceana we made way back in Dec.

We've been there a few times and it is very nice. If you own a lot there you are encouraged to volunteer and there are lots of things the volunteers do such as landscaping, which you might enjoy. It's one of the places we've considered when we stop traveling but it's a long drive to shopping and no place to ride bikes so we're not sure it's for us. Will be interested to see what you think after the tour.Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-90445775621406230022015-04-09T13:17:41.271-05:002015-04-09T13:17:41.271-05:00Aren't those cell towers a hoot?

We're coming up on some very long days this week-end, at least one more than 5 hours and I'm sure not looking forward to it. Really looks like a lovely park. I have a hard time imaging you anywhere but on a refuge. We too are facing some decisions about what to do next. Somehow I didn't remember you spent 5 months with no cell service. We definitely couldn't do that. Glad to hear things are sweet right now with good weather, no mosquitoes, cell and internet.
