After an early meeting for Tom, we departed from Joshua Tree for our final campground this trip – Mission Bay RV Resort.  We still had not made a decision on where to store Khan for our next trip when Scott – reading the website – discovered that they had a storage plan at Mission Bay…

Today was a rare day – we spent two nights in the same place – Lake Havasu City. Scott preferred this campground because it a) has a hot tub, and b) you can get in it at a reasonable hour. The campground guide said it opens at 7AM, and it was open at 7:20AM when…

We awoke at Meteor Crater RV park a bit later than normal, but still in time to make the Meteor Crater visitor’s center shortly after it’s 8AM opening.  Pricey compared to National Parks at $25/person after our senior and staying-at-their-RV-park discounts, but still well done.  We got a guided tour with a very short walk…

We had a fun day with several “audible” changes as time got away from us. Yesterday, we decided to eat pie for breakfast in one of the two Pie restaurants in Pie Town, but as with most days we were up with the sun, and decided to “hit the road” rather than wait until they…

Today was interesting, exciting, and brought back some scary memories. We did not take enough time in Alamogordo to take in all the scenery, so Tom suggested that we drive around the mountains into a tunnel that was labeled as scenic.  This turned out to be a really good idea.  We drove through the tunnel,…

Today was a “stay in one campsite all day” day – we spent it exploring the Alamogordo area. We arrived at White Sands National Park a bit before it opened at 9AM, after Scott bought a lifetime park entry card for Seniors for $80 (an annual one was $20 – Scott is hoping he lives…

Today was a bit unusual, as Tom had THREE one-hour calls for VideoRay, and both Scott and Tom had our bi-weekly Big Brothers meeting with our Littles.  All the meetings were on Teams – the Littles were given laptops and headphones to talk to us. Tom’s first meeting was at 8AM Mountain time, so we…

Today we crossed the halfway point in our journey – we have been on the road for 11 days, and we have 9 more to go since we plan to spend our last night in San Diego in a hotel after dropping the RV in a storage location somewhere in San Diego. At this point…

Today started with a company Teams meeting at our KOA campground in Kerrville, TX.  We then filled our propane, diesel, and gas at their reasonably priced pumps. We had been concerned about heating Khan for a few days.  Despite the fact that it was T-shirt weather in Kerrville late in the afternoon on Monday, overnight…

Long day today – particularly for Scott, who was standing on his aching knees for hours… We departed Riverbend RV Park around 9AM and headed west.  Our first stop was the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX. Along the way to Fredericksburg, we passed through what seemed to be the Napa Valley…

We woke up to a gloomy day at Riverbend after serious rain overnight.  After breakfast we asked the campground folks about renting kayaks – very reasonable at $20/day/kayak, and when the nice lady (Andrea) came to unlock them she brought us chocolate chip cookies! After kayaking and lunch, we each contributed to the trip.  Tom…

We had a nice, quiet, and restful night at SES, and awoke and hit the road early (for retired guys) around 8:30AM for Austin, TX, with stops along the way to see sights that Tom had researched. We realized immediately that Texans are serious about roads and driving fast (most designed with Bentley Systems software,…
