On Saturday we spent the day in Durango, CO. We took the bikes off the motorhome and headed for the bike trail in town. What a treat! I’m a passenger on this trip and not the planner. I had no idea the bike trail was along a river, the Animas River. The views along the…

Finding camping sites while heading north through AZ has been a little challenging. We use a couple of camping apps to help. On Tuesday I put in a search for an area near the Petrified Forest. The Petrified Forest Gift Shop kept coming up and I figured the app wasn’t working. As it got later…

You’re thinking kings, queens, thrones…no. It’s an area where there were cliff dwellers. We weren’t sure where we’d end up on Monday, but found a campground in Camp Verde, AZ. We had hoped to start making our way to the Grand Canyon, but there were no campsites to be found. So we explored the area…

Saturday morning we left the Walmart “campground” in Las Cruces and headed to Tucson to celebrate Easter with family. We thought we’d have smooth travel, but once again we ran into dust storms, although the wind gusts were not as bad as the previous day. We got to Mary Jo and Tom’s around 2:30 and…

We left Balmorhea State Park on Friday morning headed to City of Rocks, New Mexico. It was a beautiful, sunny morning for our 4+ hr drive. About 3 hrs into the drive we received notices on our phones from the weather app. Of course by the time we got the notice we were already aware…

We left Big Bend National Park on Saturday, April 12th heading west, mostly along the Rio Grande. The views were stunning as we drove through Big Bend Ranch State Park, although you can’t capture the depth and spectacular color on camera. Our destination for the day was Presidio, TX, close to the border with an…

So, if you know us you’re thinking Tom and Adele went to San Antonio for the Final Four?!!? Hardly. We just happened to be passing thru San Antonio on Friday, April 4. As we approached the city we saw a couple of blimps soaring overhead, but couldn’t make out the image on it. As we…

We spent the last week with Kate, Andy, and family at a vacation rental home near Austin. It’s been a great week for swimming fishing boating family time and relaxation. Great time.

Rain was with us most of the 4 hour drive from Crystal Beach to Lake Somerville State Park. Our campsite is very wooded with several trails throughout the campground and surrounding area. Thursday was mostly rain on and off throughout the day, but we did manage to get in a little hike to checkout our…

We’ve been at Intracoastal Park in Sulphur, LA since Monday. We stopped at Steamboat Bill’s for fried gator, pistolettes (fried buns topped with crayfish or shrimp etouffee )and some red beans and rice before heading to the park and getting set up. Turns out I love fried food! Our visit was peaceful with a waterfront…

We arrived here on Monday, originally planned to leave on Wednesday, but decided to stay all week. It’s very peaceful and pretty here, beautiful beaches and very serene. The weather has been perfect, not hot, not cold, and the constant ocean breeze is very relaxing. Tomorrow, however, the breeze is expected to be 25-35 miles…

We hung out in Natchez today. It was sunny, but windy. We happened upon a group setting up in a park near the river. The sign said Empty Bowls (which was obvious) but we had no clue what that was all about. There was another group right next to them mixing big vats of gumbo…

We diverted to Little Rock, AR and took a hotel room for the night. Things looked beautiful when we got here. Went for a walk over the Arkansas River. Storm and winds late tonight.
