The drive from Bastrop State Park to South Llano State Park should have been easy, only 175 miles, on roads we were very familiar with. But the "...

Nehalem Bay State Park – Planned on driving a tad more today, but Hwy 101 with a combination of heavy traffic, rain, and fog made us change our mind. There's a bunch of yurts across from us. — Nehalem Bay State Park.

On a short walk, we saw this pond with beaver lodge on Coyote Creek. With today's drive, we're moving along at a snail's pace, but that's okay. Washington seems mighty far away.
We scored with a sweet site in Villanueva State Park, sitting on a bluff, overlooking the Pecos River. Getting our travel trailer into the site was extremely challenging. Perhaps a tad more difficult than the one we got into at Yellowstone last year.
A natural spring once filled this pond, but now because of the increased number of large dairy farms in the area, the pond needs water pumped to keep it filled.
Short drive the first day -- have to slowly get back into the rhythm of the road. Look at that red water in Lake Abilene.
Sometimes, you have to hit the road even though there isn't time for a decent road trip. And that was the case with us: We had a window of about seven days, which was perfect for what I would call a mini-road trip. Once we learned about Big Bend Brewing Company's planned celebration in Valentine, TX...
On our way home from a family gathering over Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to stop at Palmetto State Park. It’s been years since Diana and I visited this park, and we have never camped here because of its proximity to home. Also, because the trailer’s black/gray tanks were approaching full from w...
Bruneau Dunes State Park
Updating this site hasn't gone as planned. Two factors seem to be the culprit. First, we began this trip dry camping in areas with extremely limited or no internet connection, and when we get to an area with good coverage, we played catch-up with e-mail etc. Second factor...
