The price of lingering an extra day in Palo Duro is that we need to make the seven hour trip to Bedford in one day hopefully arriving before the afternoon rush hour. We've just hit our first traffic slowdown in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area. Hopefully we'll arrive...
Paused for the night near the town of Tucumcari, New Mexico. Last night the evening sky was gorgeous. This morning we took advantage of the fact that this KOA offers meals and walked to the office for breakfast. While we were enjoying our coffee and eggs we chatted...
Routine maintenance is just one of those things. Keeping the wheel bearings in good working order is an important part of being able to roll down the road. Earlier this trip we stopped and had them lubricated. Today, after calling ahead, we stopped at Santa Fe RV and...
See Park Video Oak Creek Canyon has been on our radar since 1973. Mr. Carr at Owen Cotter Jewelers in downtown St Petersburg mentioned it as we were planning our honeymoon trip but today was our first visit here. We drove south from Flagstaff planning to enjoy the...
It's the grand canyon of the Texas, in the panhandle. Our first visit here was in 1984 when we and our little boys were traveling with their Aunt Lou and Uncle Bill. We stayed in one of the Mesquite campsites and did some hiking out from there. Then in June 2014 the...
One of the treats of visiting Santa Fe is the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the luxury of the hot tubs at Ten Thousand Waves. Since we kept missing the natural hot springs as we traveled through the mountainous areas we decided to indulge ourselves. We enjoyed a...
Back in 1973 as we were traveling through this part of the country we were listening to Glenn Frey as lead vocalist of the Eagles on the radio singing Take it Easy about standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, lyrics he co-authored with Jackson Browne. A few years...
It's Adrian, Texas, the geo-mathematical midpoint on the historic Route 66 trip from Chicago to LA. We got off the interstate to get gas and to find a geocache behind the Sunflower Station, whose owner inspired the character of Flo in Pixar's Cars. Unfortunately the...
Yesterday afternoon we pulled into the community of El Dorado at Santa Fe and parked our T@B in Bill's driveway for a weekend visit. We enjoyed the patio and libations with Bill as daylight began to wane then were happy recipients of a delicious home cooked spaghetti...
With Flagstaff behind us and Gallup as our planned destination for the day, we were eastbound on I-40 when we saw one of those intriguing brown signs. We were just eleven miles from the Barringer Meteor Crater so of course we had to visit! Some 50,000 years ago a...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

From London we made our way to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to dance to the strains of The Jive Aces and later enjoyed the opportunity to hobnob with the band members at The Ship and Castle in Portsmouth. Two fabulous experiences!
Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
A half-day bus tour from London to Stonehenge gave us enough of an opportunity to gaze in awe at this ancient sacred monument, learn a little more about its history and construction and make us want to return for perhaps a more intimate experience.
