From Ken Rodd:
I have 12 reservations for the U.S Open for Friday August 10th leaving 
August 12th for people staying at Austin Lone Star RV Resort.  I have a few 
cabins left, but all the deluxe cabins are reserved.  There is one semi deluxe 
left.  A couple of rustic left.
There are some RV sites left - if you want one or think you do better 
reserve TODAY- we are a busy park and most weekends we are full so a last minute 
reservation probably won't be available.
Call ME on my cell if you want a reservation.  We serve breakfast Saturday 
and Sunday morning for $2.50 and the pool is FREE
