    One night in Fort Stockton, TX–Winter Warmth trip

    We were in Fort Stockton in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth Trip. This may be the shortest review of Fort Stockton ever written. We left frozen Mesilla, foolishly thinking conditions would improve as we headed east. Wrong! The roads were total crap! It was so cold out! We eventually made it to the Fort…
