They fly U.S., Canadian and Texas flags side by side in our Rio Grand Valley RV park so I'm sure you'll feel at home if you can make it through the snow. It's flat citrus/farm country and generally dry and warm. They had their first white Christmas on record this past year (2-4") and it was their first snow in 90 years. Many parents let their kids stay up all night knowing the snow would be gone soon after the sun came up the next day.

Locals are generally friendly and considerate of the retirees who flood the area every winter. There are flea markets, potlucks, bingo, card playing, quilting groups, computer clubs, square dances musical presentations, art shows and many other things seniors pick and choose from to stay busy. Our park adds pool tables, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a swimming pool, jacuzi and exercise room to the mix. Fishing, golfing and birding are also big there. We don't do a lot of those things but still stay busy laying our foundation of bike training miles to start the year and visiting with my 97 yr old Dad who lives there.

The only negative that comes to mind (assuming you didn't gag on the list of activities above) is that Texas doesn't enforce it's mandatory insurance laws and there are a lot of uninsured motorists in the area. You'll want to make sure your car insurance covers that situation.
