For Introductory Video, Click Here Along our way from Stillwell Store just north of Big Bend to Van Horn RV Park in west of Texas, we detoured off the fastest route for a few of miles to visit Fort Davis National Historic Site. This was an impromptu stop. We'd spotted...
Galveston, Oh Galveston!. Yes, we've got that song stuck in our heads as we visit this historic Texas town for the first time. A visit to the Texas Gulf Coast has been on our list for a very long time. We were fortunate to snag a two night reservation at Galveston...
In 1951 an oil filter equipment salesman and his wife, George & Barbara Bush moved into this modest house at 1412 W Ohio Street in Midland, Texas and made it their home for four years. Here their eldest son Georgie played with his younger siblings, was a member of...
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...
Bigger than the state of Delaware, Big Bend encompasses three distinct ecological systems - desert, river, and mountains. Volcanoes shaped this landscape hundreds of millions of years ago. This has been an amazing experience in Big Bend National Park with a three...
On Wright Patman Lake near Texarkana in eastern Texas, we're staying on Site A-5 in Clear Spring Campground. Mid-week, early November, there's ample availability of campsites but since we were planning a rendezvous with Sharon and Mike, we called (877) 444-6777 to...
Yesterday afternoon we pulled into an RV park in Van Horn, Texas, imaginatively named Van Horn RV Park and were warmly greeted by Penny, one of the owners, and by the manager of the onsite restaurant, Penny’s Cafe. With a welcome like that, of course we walked the...
It was fifty years ago, on our first visit to Texas that we first heard about the Hill Country but our travels through Texas tended to take us a more northern route to always to include a visit with family. These last couple of days we’ve enjoyed immersing ourselves...
This is our last stop on our trek across West Texas. What an amazing journey. It's an amazingly vast landscape and a booming economy. Like the rest of the West, we see more and more solar and wind farms spread out where just wildlife and rattlesnakes made their home...
At the suggestion of Beth and Paul, from their house we took I-10 to TX-375/Woodrow Bean Transmountain Highway and stopped for a visit at the National Border Patrol Museum in El Paso, Texas. It's a non-profit museum founded by retired border patrol agents that does 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.

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
