6/4 – 6/30/2022 – Capital Reef National Park, Southern Utah and Western Colorado.

This is probably my biggest stretch of not blogging outside of our trips home. Partially because it felt like we were in another holding pattern. We have been having issues with our 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500, that only has about 30,000 miles on it. It has been in the shop 5 times in the last … Read more

5/10-5/20/2022 – Grand Canyon, Williams & Page Arizona

In my last post, I was feeling a little bummed about not being able to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on this trip. While I still one day want to come back and do it, we did find other alternatives to explore and enjoy the park. Let’s get into it! Our next … Read more

Goodness! So sorry for the delay in my posts. I have been on a theme here lately that has continued, I think you will understand greatly after reading what the last two weeks have brought.

2/18-4/12/2022 – Family Visits and Albuquerque

Well, we have been on a very long hiatus from the blog as we flew back east to visit our kids and extended families in West Virginia and North Carolina. It was a roller coaster of a trip home – highs and lows, twists and turns. So, let’s get into it, shall we? Our trip … Read more

Greetings, earthlings! We have been in New Mexico for the last three weeks, and it’s out of this world! Okay, enough with the alien stuff, but I do understand why it’s “The Land of Enchantment”. Vastly different landscapes, very unique and unlike anywhere we have ever been, some of it really does have an otherworldly … Read more

1/16-1/27/2022- Big Bend NP-Carlsbad Caverns NP

Our trip to Big Bend was a personal favorite so far for me. We have numerous NP’s on my bucket list coming up in the next 6 months as we make our way through Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington. Right now we are in New Mexico, a state I have not yet been (now all … Read more

In just over 4 hours of driving, we arrived in a completely different landscape than what we had been enjoying in Austin and San Antonio. Seminole Canyon State Park is in Comstock, Texas. It’s population is 419 and is situated about 40 miles away from any major town, which in this case is Del Rio. … Read more

Happy Holidays to you! We are completing our month in Port Aransas, and like many of you have been busy with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

11/20-11/30/2021 – Port Aransas/Corpus Christi
