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...
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...
See Park Video White Sands National Monument is beyond amazing. Yes, it's a giant sandbox that totally dwarfs the toy front end loader that someone left behind. With Paul, as our local guide, we stopped at the visitor center then drove out beyond the end of the...
No, Texas is not our current location. We're in southeastern Arizona, at an I-10 rest area north of places like Tombstone and Sierra Vista. As we zoom along I-10, traveling longer today than we'd like, we have Picacho, Arizona behind us and Las Cruces, New Mexico as...

Certainly we've avoided the busiest, most congested roadways in Southern California, but to travel from Santa Paula to JoshuaTree National Park involves contending with a fair degree of LA traffic with our trailer in tow. Fortunately in the last couple of days, we've...
One of the effects of travel for us is an emotional connectedness to the places we have visited. When we learned on the news this past winter about the Thomas Fire in California's Ventura County we immediately began fearing for the people and places we knew and had...
Today we had an errand to run. We visited the UPS store in Santa Paula, California to fill out our absentee ballots in the presence of a notary public and put them in the mail. Then we treated ourselves to a drive through the Santa Clara Valley to Francisco's Fruits...
