We drove across the top hat of Texas, looking forward to amazing pie at the Midpoint Cafe in Adrian, TX. Unfortunately, they were closed for the day. So we tried to put our disappointment aside and drove onward. The next town heading east is Vega, TX. It is a fading town on Route 66 which was bypassed on the side by Interstate 40. We were tired of driving and saw a sign for the Walnut RV Park at 1403 Vega Blvd (Route 66) ph. 806-267-2310.

This is not a destination town but the park has the bare basics consisting of electric, water, sewer, restrooms and antenna reception from Amarillo, TX which is 35 miles to the east. There were a couple resident trailers and one other traveler. The owners were friendly and the park was quiet other than the distant noise of I-40 off in the distance and some occasional Vega residents driving down the street. For a stop in the $15-20 price range, it's not a bargain but it's not a rip off either. It keeps you out of two cities for a night, Amarillo to the east and Tucumcari, NM to the west.
