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...
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 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...
After leaving the Lee Vining and Mono Lake area, I continued south out of Bishop in search of a sight to pull over and camp for the night. After a few failed attempts I turned down a dirt road and was very surprised to find some hot springs! I quickly...
Last year Conor and I went into the National Park for a hike, but we did so a few weeks too early and did not get to see all the aspen’s turning. This year we made it at the right time and enjoyed a 6 mile hike through the park...
As you may recall, I stopped smoking a few years back. Actually, August 31st marks 3 years since my last cigarette. Yep… still not smoking and I doubt I ever will again as my self-worth just wont allow me to consume something that is only harming me. Labor day weekend,...
It has been a good while since I hiked the Lions Gulch trail into the Homestead Meadows area. Conor and I have attacked the meadows from different trails multiple other times, but not up the dreaded Lions Gulch with it’s 1500+ ft elevation gain an 3 miles trail, some considered...
Conor sold me on a hike that we missed last year; Fern Lake in Rocky Mtn National Park. We attempted it last year but missed the trail split and ended up at Cub Lake. Not a bad trade as Cub Lake is spectacular no matter what… but we both still...
