A Familiar Face and a Reunion in Bastrop
So far, only one person has guessed the correct answer:
Hank and Ellen Folk, from Bastrop, TX.
We first crossed paths with Hank and Ellen years ago, but our most memorable time together was at the 2019 Alfa Roadrunner and AOC Rally in Fredericksburg, TX. Like many friendships forged on the road, it started with shared stories, laughs, and, of course, discussions about our beloved Alfas and the ongoing improvements we were making to them.
As time rolled on, life shifted—as it always does. They transitioned from a Class A to a Class C RV, adapting to new rhythms and routines. But in 2024, after the Bandera Rally, life brought us back into each other’s orbit. We were in need of an animal eye care specialist for Dakota, which led us to Bastrop for a few nights while we lined up vet appointments in Austin.
Naturally, we reached out to Hank and Ellen to reconnect.
What followed was a heartwarming visit—filled with great conversations about people, Alfas, life, and the adventures we’ve all experienced since our last meeting. The kind of connection that reminds you how special this RV community really is.
The worst thing I forgot, is where did I put the photos of Hank and Ellen.
So, Where Are We Now?
After Bastrop, it was time to head to Bandera, TX, for a visit with the Venables. Even though it was a few miles off our planned route, we couldn’t pass up the chance—it had been nearly six months since we last caught up, and we knew a stop in Bandera would be well worth the detour.
Of course, it had to be hotter than Show Low. And with the added humidity in the air, even Dakota wasn’t interested in her usual morning walks. She definitely misses the cool mornings at the Show Low cabin and those peaceful forest strolls through the pines.
While we're here, we’ve been exploring the area, driving around, and helping out with a few small tasks. I've even been getting my hands dirty—yes, actual work! But it feels good to pitch in, especially when it's for friends who feel more like family.
