(Yesterday’s News, WiFi no bueno) After multiple stops and many miles we’ve decided to stop for at least two nights in AZ. We’ve been able to easily find spots to stay at but weekends are much harder to reserve, and pretty much all National and State Parks are hard to reserve any day. Next timeContinue reading “Need To Slow Down”

Mobile Maintenance Bro, “Yea sorry but it looks like your water heater tank is cracked, you’ll have to replace the whole thing.” Marc, “The whole thing, why not just the tank?” MMB, “Heck it’s only $600 plus installation and you get a new water heater plus a warranty.” Marc, “My water heater is fine andContinue reading “Onward North To ….”

After ignoring Little Al for over a month we decided it’s time to take his handcuff off and get on the road. Just like all of our travels we have a starting point and a destination but will “fly by the seat of our pants” in between. Destination St. George, Utah. Little Al decided toContinue reading “Little Al Says “Let’s Go””

After leaving Dallas with only a plan to stop in Abilene for Joanie’s 2nd vaccine, we decided that Ruidoso would be a great place to stop for a few nights. Our first night in Little Al since the Texas Arctic blast last month, it appears I did a poor job of winterizing because after hookingContinue reading “Ruidoso, NM”

With the beautiful weather came the flow of beach goers to Port A. I learned my lesson about asking anyone on the beach what they were catching, digging for, or any other question…turns out they are all “close talkers”. Lesson learned. Checked out the RV park on the end of the island, IB Magee StateContinue reading “Port Aransas Beach”

We have already decided when we come back we will stay at Goose Island, today we added Mustang Island State ParkContinue reading “Mustang Island State Park”

Some people go to the beach, the shore, seashore, shoreline and/or just ocean. When Little Al kept telling me he was going to the coast with or without me I knew what he meant, I just didn’t know if we were ever going to escape our Spring Branch captivity. For those of you that haveContinue reading “To The Coast”

Well, another change of plans. Seems we were not destined to take Little Al anywhere this month no matter how hard we tried. Instead of heading to warmer weather we will be driving to the tourist destination of Dallas to babysit our granddaughter for the week. Again, a parent at her school was exposed toContinue reading “Two Steps Forward”

After a tough and tearful conversation with Little Al, we’ve decided to leave him behind and head for warmer weather in Florida. He wants to go so bad but we think it’s better he rest and get ready for our next long adventure in the summer. Just seems like yesterday we were leaving for COContinue reading “Time to Roll”
