This is a first for us, traveling in caravan with friends from campground to campground. We have met up in campgrounds with friends Stan & Mary on more than one occasion and with T@B friends but we've never traveled in an RV caravan before today. We're traveling...
On Wright Patman Lake near Texarkana in eastern Texas, we're staying on Site A-5 in Clear Spring Campground. Mid-week, early November, there's ample availability of campsites but since we were planning a rendezvous with Sharon and Mike, we called (877) 444-6777 to...
Mark deliberately cultivates plants in his Bedford, Texas backyard to attract butterflies and bees and regularly ventures out to capture images of the little critters. He's been honing his skills for more than a decade. We always enjoy visiting his Flickr Album for...
This is our last stop on our trek across West Texas. What an amazing journey. It's an amazingly vast landscape and a booming economy. Like the rest of the West, we see more and more solar and wind farms spread out where just wildlife and rattlesnakes made their home...
In 1951 an oil filter equipment salesman and his wife, George & Barbara Bush moved into this modest house at 1412 W Ohio Street in Midland, Texas and made it their home for four years. Here their eldest son Georgie played with his younger siblings, was a member of...
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...
See Park Video Centuries before Europeans knew of the vast American deserts, the Ancient Sonoran People thrived in a harsh desert environment here in what is now central Arizona. Near the town of Coolidge, between Phoenix and Tucson, is the Casa Grande Ruins National...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Today we are embarking on a journey that we've been planning for the past year. It's not our usual last minute flying by the seat of our pants adventure. Or at least the major parts aren't. Last August we called and talked with Kevin at Q Cruise Travel in Chicago to...
So much has happened since our last post. We'd love to go into greater detail about every adventure but it's time we got you caught up to where we are now. Hopefully we'll do a better of job of timely posts going forward. It was way back on Tuesday July 11th that we...
We’re on the move again heading in a westerly direction. We left Ohio on Friday and set up for two nights at the Bluffton/Fort Wayne South KOA Journey near Fort Wayne, Indiana. As is typical for us, we made plans on the fly. We made the campground reservations on the...
