We slept soundly last night, better than the last couple of nights. Not sure why but it felt great. Today we want to visit a couple of the museums located here in Tucumcari. It’s evident from the local architecture, that the village was in its heyday during the mid 50s – 60s when Route 66Continue reading “March 9, 2023 Day 2 Blaze in Saddle RV Park, Tucumcari, NM”

After leaving our overnight stay at Walmart, we headed north on I-25 towards Alburquerque. The road is in good condition and the scenery starts to change from a desert landscape to wide open prairies of rolling hills, buttes, mesas, and trees. We haven’t seen so many trees since we started our trip and it’s aContinue reading “March 8, 2023 Day 1 Blaze-in-Saddle RV Park, Tucumcari NM”

Do you ever have a day when every decision you make, seems to be wrong? Today was my Bad Decision Day for 2023. We left the campgrounds in Willcox Arizona about 7:30am, driving east on I-10. During the night we heard some strange cooing noises periodically and in retrospect, we think it was the SandhillContinue reading “March 7, 2023 Day 1 Walmart Parking Lot, Soroco, NM”

We left Sonoran Desert RV park near Gila Bend around 10:30am, heading east on I-10. For an Interstate highway, it’s in poor shape with potholes and rough patches that make the truck and camper shake. It makes it more difficult to drive and increases stress levels. The Valterra adapter for the sewer hose was deliveredContinue reading “March 6, 2023 Day 1 Willcox, AZ”

Travel Day! We are headed east about 7:30am PT to start our journey of a little over 2,000 miles back to Ohio. Last evening we met another couple who have an Airstream.

The free campgrounds are located near I-10 and we can hear some traffic from it and the gas station located nearby. It wasn’t enough to disturb our sleep and we woke up about 7:00am PT with plans to visit the adjacent General Patton Museum soon after it opens at 9:30am. The camp host here toldContinue reading “March 4, 2023 Day 2 Chiriaco Summit, CA”

We left Buckskin Mountain about 8:30am, heading west to JTNP, about a 3 hour drive. It’s a beautiful morning and traffic is light as we drive south first to Parker, then turn west on 95. As we leave Parker, we cross the Colorado River bridge which is the boundary to California – fist bump, weContinue reading “March 3, 2023 Day 1 Chiriaco Summit, CA”

After yesterday’s wind and rain, the air is crystal clear, and skies are blue. It’s also warming up as the days goes on and it’s one of the nicest days we’ve had for several weeks. Justice went for a dip at the dog beach, and along with us, relaxed at the campsite all afternoon. WeContinue reading “March 2, 2023 Day 4 Buckskin Mtn SP Parker, AZ”

More wind! It’s a windy year is the southwest and chilly for the area with periods of rain throughout the day and overnight. We, along with the other campers are hunkering down for the day and evening. Overnight it rains and in an Airstream the rain makes a pleasant and relaxing sound on the roof,Continue reading “March 1, 2023 Day 3 Buckskin Mountain Parker, AZ”

We slept well and the sun is shining this morning. There’s a breeze off the water that is a bit chilly, but the forecast is calling for 62 degrees – we’ll take it! Ron and Justice are intrigued by a nearby hike that leads up to a mountain overlooking the campgrounds and decide to giveContinue reading “Feb 28, 2023 Day 2 Buckskin Mountain Parker, AZ”

After the rain and winds yesterday, this morning was spectacular. The air was crystal clear with blue skies and a few white puffy clouds. It’s the best weather we’ve had for over a week or more and we took full advantage of it. We’ve been wanting to walk over to the nearby lighthouse and getContinue reading “Feb 26, 2023 Day 4 Lake Havasu SP Lake Havasu City, AZ”

The skies are blue with light winds this morning but unfortunately, the forecast is calling for winds to increase as the day progresses and by nightfall, gusty winds of 40 – 50mph and rain. This morning we are doing laundry nearby the campgrounds. Enroute, we noticed a car wash and decided to hit it afterContinue reading “Feb 5, 2023 Day 3 Lake Havasu SP Lake Havasu City, AZ”

It’s windy again today and we wonder if wind is typical in the desert during the winter. Too windy for a campfire and tomorrow is calling for rain with winds 35 to 45mph and gusts up to 50 – wow! We moved from campsite #21 to #38. Our new campsite is right on the beachContinue reading “Feb 24, 2023 Day 2 Lake Havasu SP, Lake Havasu City AZ”
