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”

Spectacular is the only way to describe the views at Zion. Since we were unable to actually go into the Canyon, the first tram tickets available were August, we took a nice hike to the overlook. Although a short mile plus hike, we were still able to see the beautiful cliffs and enjoy the nearContinue reading “Zion”

We have spent the last two days in St George hanging with the Rays, they are the best tour guides to the vicinity and as an added bonus know the best local hikes. We’ve had to delay pickle ball because of high winds, Dick didn’t seem at all disappointed. Yesterday we hiked The Lower SandContinue reading “St. George Time”

After we made our way into Utah we were able to find a KOA just north of Bryce Canyon National Park, it was a great location to explore the Park and wind down for a couple of days. The scenery was without a doubt the best we’ve seen so far, weather was anywhere from 35Continue reading “Hoodoos and Caves”

Our last two adventures before entering Utah was the Walnut Canyon National Monument near Flagstaff and the Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River very close to Lake Powell. Those were Joan’s anyway, I thought the fried chicken stood out at the Bird House in Page…but eating is my hobby and good fried chicken has aContinue reading “Walnut Canyon and Horseshoe Bend”
