When we first decided to become fulltime RVers, the thought of boondocking or drycamping sounded right up our alley. There are plenty of public lands open to RVs for camping, and they offer privacy and views for free that RV parks can not compete with. The tradeoff is that there are no hookups: no water, […]
Committing to life on the road, there are three problems that we have joked we will be facing at some point or another, but hopefully as separate events, in our journeys… we will be broken down in the desert the slide won’t retract into the RV the air conditioner will die in a hot climate I won’t […]
Traveling through West Texas, there is no denying that this land at one time was occupied by the Apache. The desert terrain with bluffs, buttes and scattered mountain ranges gratify your expectations of the land roamed by Indians. The Apaches of this area were named Mescaleros by the Spanish because they ate mescal (an agave […]
As our travels continue through the west side of Texas, this often forgotten area continues to reveal its secrets to us. Fort Davis is located a couple of hours North of Big Bend National Park, and is home to the McDonald Observatory. We have always been enchanted by the night sky, especially on clear nights […]
The West side of Big Bend shares some features with the East side in the way of the Rio Grande, canyons and desert hikes. There are, however, two features that set this area apart: first, Santa Elena Canyon which you kayak or canoe; second, more historical areas than the rest of the park. Castolon is home to […]
Now that we have explored some of the Chihuahuan desert, the Rio Grande and the Mexico border; it is time to set our sights a little higher. We are now heading into the Chisos Mountains where the elevation approaches 8,000 feet. The Chisos Basin is the most popular area of Big Bend National Park, and […]
Time is as still as the heat. Days are long under blue sky and a blaring sun. Rocky outcroppings embolden the horizon. Cactus and thorny scrubs add further danger to the abrasive rocky sand underfoot. The Rio Grande flows through canyons bringing a swath of greenery to the landscape and dividing two nations. The Chisos […]
We had the privilege of traveling with two of our nieces (Ages 8 and 4) and one nephew (age 7) through Texas Hill Country. We are from Pennsylvania and wanted to ensure that they would learn about the history of Texas and what makes the area unique. There are a lot of fun things for […]
We find ourselves in Terlingua/Study Butte, Texas on May 1 – here is a video we shot today to commemorate 10 months on the road! (A note for when in Texas – nothing is pronounced like you think. Study Butte is pronounced Stewdy Butte.) Enjoy!
The Missions: Mission National Park is a free park featuring four of the five Missions of San Antonio. A visit to each of the four is well worth the time, and they have a great bike path along the San Antonio that connects the Missions with the Riverwalk. At each Mission, visitors may enter the […]
