After three months, I returned to California, two hours from San Diego. Gas prices went up a dollar. Sunset was lovely, but the land I camped on this night was full of trash and needed a “beach cleanup day” for sure. Sunset happened not long after I parked (and I figured after dark, I wouldn’t […]
New Mexico to Arizona! Not many pics today as I put in a bunch of miles in order to meet a high school friend and her dad for dinner (no pics and I’ll blame it on friend forgetting her phone, but I also don’t like selfies lately lol). I got my temporary propane tanks refilled […]
Had a quiet evening at El Cosmico, aside from a javelina scooting through a hole in the fence and walking right past me while I was on the phone with KT. He seemed completely uninterested in me (the javelina, not KT). I stopped to check out “Prada Marfa” on my way back to the interstate […]
Sure enough, it got cold overnight. I awoke to frost on the windshield, but relief that the coyotes didn’t get us overnight. I needed to dump tanks/refil water and checked my apps for anything between where I was and Marfa, only to discover a state park (with camping!) less than 20 minutes away. I could […]
Sunrise over the river – stunning. I was going to head to Marfa, TX (at the recommendation of a real life friend who also happens to have a van), but after driving hundreds of miles, decided not to go that far out of the way in one shot. Then Google maps told me my next […]
After a lunch of crawfish étouffée in Shreveport, LA, I dropped KT at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, so he could fly home (bridge tournament coming up that didn’t fit the driving schedule). But since we raced there, I could take my time getting to San Diego. Since dropping him for the flight ate up most […]
Fog was thick leaving the banks of the Suwanee River. I noticed gas prices dropped even more as we crossed into Mississippi. I had seen a lot of hype around Buc-ee’s gas stations, but hadn’t yet experienced one, however I had been amused by their billboards on previous trips (not sure I could hold a […]
We started the new year “On The Road Again” – with the first stop being the Tampa International Airport to drop A off for her flight back. I sported my new perfect Christmas present t-shirt, courtesy of T. We took a brief break on the north side of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg […]
Happy New Year! This is our last night in Florida in 2022 (and the foreseeable future – we start the trek back to California tomorrow). The yard is (mostly) done. The house is repaired. We got to spend precious time with our grandbaby, N. Family came to visit. A thought she was going on vacation […]
‘Tis the Season!
