Great day relaxing at the springs at Glenwood Hot Springs. I took my normal position under the trees while Joanie baked in the sun just a few feet away. Just like any other place where old people frequent, Joanie was able to meet a new boyfriend who was putting on a diving exhibition for usContinue reading “Relaxing At Glenwood Hot Springs”

After almost a week of living in splendor with a real roof over our head, Little Al beckoned us back to spend the rest of our trip enjoying what RV life has to offer. I haven’t told him yet that it may be full time, I guess I’ll break the news to him when IContinue reading “Ranger Gap State Park”

The “Joanie Only Turns 60 Once World Tour” continued when we met at Jeff & Susan’s house in Avon, Colorado. We were joined by not one or two, but five beautiful ladies who all celebrated their 60th this past year. Little known to me but obviously a fact, if you celebrate a major birthday inContinue reading “Avon Calling”

Well we did it, we officially became homeless when the crazy housing market demanded that we sell our River House and take to the open road. Joanie and I are just a little nervous about it but Little Al couldn’t be any more excited to hang with us on our new adventure. Keep in mind,Continue reading “Home is Where The Heart Is (Heart = Airstream)”

Garner State Park was exactly what we expected it to be, another perfect location for Little Al and a hikers paradise. Just like a lot of the parks we have visited, the CCC developed this park and made it the perfect place that it is. It is actually split into two parts, the old sectionContinue reading “Garner State Park and Done”

We spent the last day at Big Bend enjoying our best hike yet, while here, clambering around Chisos Mountain. While keeping one eye trained on the close ledge, one eye on the path avoiding snakes, and the other two eyes scanning for bears or mountain lions we were able to get to the top inContinue reading “Last Day At BB and Onward”

When I was reading up on road trips after retirement I happened upon an article that showed a road trip over 12 months that kept you at under 65 degrees all year. That seemed like a great plan, I would never be in temperature above 80 again! Au Contraire. Since we arrived late in theContinue reading “Big Bend”

We spent all day yesterday in Marfa, more than enough time to take in and enjoy the whole city. What we thought Truth or Consequences was…Marfa is…an artsy fartsy town with plenty to enjoy. If you plan to buy anything you may want to bring your checkbook, and credit card, and cash, and a secondContinue reading “Marfa”

After another long drive we ended up at Davis Mountains State Park, we were able to get the last spot available. Without a doubt we both agree that the best spots and pricing are state and national parks. The views and space that they provide cannot be matched by the KOA or Good Sam Boys,Continue reading “Davis Mountains”

We left our gracious hosts and are starting our trip back to Texas with many stops along the way, we will be back in Spring Branch on the 29th. Just as we knew it would be, making last minute reservations for RV parking on weekends creates an “opportunity” to stay at places we may haveContinue reading “Hiking Back To Texas”
