Today we drove into San Antonio to go downtown to the River Walk. While the Interstate part of the drive was easy enough, once we got down into the city itself it seemed that the city engineers were playing a practical joke. One sign would show the River Walk as...
We stumbled into a what turned out to be a fantastic park. Kerrville-Schreiner Park in Kerrville, Texas is what RV camping should be and all for the right price. Sure we could have spent $40 a night and had all the amenities but Kerrville-Schreiner Park also has camp areas in...
Seriously, I’m use to California big, but this is getting ridiculous. We have been in Texas for 4 days and we are still out in the middle of no-where-Texas. Even though this state ranks #2 in population (second only to California) almost no one lives in the Western 450 miles...
After leaving Poncho Villa State Park in New Mexico it was a quick and painless drive into and through El Paso, TX where we refueled and continued driving South-East all the way to Van Horn, TX. This made for a 200-mile day of driving although it felt like much less....
After a few hours of driving East on Hwy 9 we came up on Columbus, NM and the Pocho Villa State Park where camping (with electric & water) was a mere $14 per night. It didn’t take much discussion to agree that a warm shower and a 120v plug was...
Today was the day we planned to leave Nicole and Rod to their own travel plans this week. They were heading North, we continue South. This morning we packed up and said our good-byes and were ready to roll by early afternoon. Once moving again we didn’t make it very...
Today we rolled out of Henderson and towards Hoover Dam, stopped 1 mile short of the Arizona border at the Hacienda Hotel & Casino. Not only did they have ample parking for trucks and RVs, it was quiet and warm enough to get a helluva-night’s sleep. We woke to...
Already packed and ready to go since Friday, we have delayed as long as we could. Sunday afternoon we will begin the next leg of the journey; the flight south. The first leg will only bring us into the Phoenix area to see Nicole and Rod before they too head...
I woke early enough this morning (somewhere between 5 and 7am depending on which clock you look at) to ensure I made it into CA before sunset. I quickly gobbled down a cup of coffee and got the van moving west-ward, but it didn’t take long for the winds and...
I found my groove today after a late start due to my Saturday work load and a trip into Harbor Freight where I stocked up on some tool-type things. I logged in another 250-ish miles, making my way to Scipio, UT at a Flying J that has become my standard...
