Is it practical? We do everywhere else, including Hobbs, but I'm

wouldn't want to try it.

What about RVs? If we talk my folks into driving down with their big
rig, are there hookups and a shower on the airport? Nearby?

Chip,

I've only been to Uvalde twice (this year will make three) but I agree that you would not want to tent camp there. The big, stinging ants would really appreciate it, but you probably would not. You may not even survive the experience.

I have seen big motor homes with self-contained facilities pull up for the contest, but we have to beg the on-airport businesses for facilities (always kindly granted) or make the long trek across the field to the terminal. I am not aware of any water/power hookups, but I've never looked for more than a water hose.

Good luck. You will love fly there.
