We have been moving right along since getting back on the road September 11. We left Texas and skirted through New Mexico, before finally rolling into Arizona. The Big Guy wasn’t much interested in seeing places like Tombstone, so we pressed onto Tucson where we were able to eventually meet up with old friends during …
After our time at Big Bend, our next stop was northwest Texas and the southeast corner of New Mexico. During our two day stay, we visited two National Parks: Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. Guadalupe Mountains National Park Nestled in the Guadalupe Mountain range, east of El Paso, is the home of the highest point …
Finally after three months and ten days, we are on the road again. Our first destination was heading to a secluded dip in Texas known as Big Bend National Park. Unfortunately, the trip was not without excitement as we had a tire blowout just south of Ft. Stockton which is a fairly remote area. Mind …

He explained how he drove for several hours (8+) straight before they stopped overnight. They had plans to do some sightseeing and hiking at their stopover. But upon waking the next …
There are hidden gems all over this great country of ours. Those lesser known spots and sights known only to the locals or very few. It is those secrets our planet holds that most attract us. One such spot lies underneath the Hill Country of Texas: The Natural Bridge Caverns. In March of 1960, four …
One of my favorite places to be is at the ocean. The smell of the air. The sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The sight of vastness of water as it drops off in the horizon. I was blessed as a child growing up within an hour drive of the coast of which …
Sorry, whenever I hear the word Rainier, I cannot help but think of a beer commercial from my childhood for Rainier Beer! As you may have detected by reading my blog posts, we enjoy visiting the National Parks. Near the beginning of our journey, we passed through Washington state and was able to spend a …
