The ride from Deming to Tucson was the longest leg of the journey so far. We got an early start but still have been sticking to our Rule of 350. That’s no more than 350 miles in a day or off the road by 3:50 in the afternoon, whatever comes first. We found a campground [...]
Finally west Texas is a memory. What amazes me the most out here though is the massive spread of the cities. Not that large cities don’t exist back east but them seem so much more compact than the sprawling avenues and streets out here. El Paso was massive and it seemed to go on forever. [...]
Hey out there. Brutus here once again. I know I don’t get to post much. Larry hogs the computer every night. And don’t be confused if I interchange the name Larry and Dad. I can only use the latter term with you, when he’s not around. He says he is “not my dad”. So get [...]
We decided to stay another day in Kerrville as we had to await some mail to be overnighted to us from Erin. The sun was shining again and I the forecast for the ensuing days didn’t look good. Time to ride again. We had heard so much about Fredericksburg, TX and the draw it had. [...]
It was time to scout out the area. So we fired up the Stratoliner and being a bit chilly we donned the chaps and leather and headed out for the famous Texas Hill Country. Should you want a wonderful ride you take Rt. 16 south out of Kerrville just a mile or so and take [...]
We’ve done some traveling this week trying to get across Texas. We spent a night in Beaumont, and then another in Seguin. We decided to take the beltway around San Antonio. We had been there before taking in the Alamo and River Walk and didn’t want to maneuver the motorhome towing the trailer thru the [...]
Navarre Beach RV Park We spent a week at this facility. It has 71 sites, six of which back right over the beach on Navarre Sound. We stayed at one of these and it was a little pricey but the view from the other sites was not worth an extended stay. The remainder of the [...]
I’m somewhat of a quirky person. Things bother me that should be of no concern or consequence. Using words out of context, mispronunciation of others, or the big one — incorrect spelling, especially in commercially advertised postings. I snapped this shot almost a month ago down in Ocala. I just ran across it today in [...]
Every so often I complain about the coolness of the South this winter and why it isn’t warmer. Sometimes I even bitch about the rain. And just yesterday a friend that I made when we worked up in North Dakota this past summer sent me this short video. I don’t think I’ll complain about being [...]
The Pontchartrain Landing RV Park provides a shuttle service to the French Quarter so we hopped aboard at ten this morning. Fog had blanketed everything around us and I didn’t know if photos were going to be possible. The first thing we did was head to the Cafe du Monde for beignets and coffee. It [...]
