Return to Rainbow’s End
6 April 2010We ended our stay at the Conroe Condo, and thankfully returned to our trailer at Lake Conroe Thousand Trails. My folks installed themselves in a local West Bestern. We pretty much spent the weekend eating at local restaurants.
On Sunday night, we bid the Parental Units good bye, and on Tuesday Morning, we packed up and [...]
The End of the Rainbow
1 April 2010When we left Van Nuys, our stated destination was Rainbow’s End, the headquarters park of the Escapees RV Club. Yesterday, we arrived at the end of the rainbow.
We’ve been here in Conroe, Texas, at the Conroe Condo, since last Friday, and after much preparation and work, had two Passover Seders. I did almost all the [...]
“Or maybe all the way to S.A. Who knows?”
19 March 2010[Note: Photos pending.]
Well, we know. We left Fort Stockton at 7 AM this morning, after breakfast at Burger King. I never eat breakfast at Burger King, but the McDonalds had two busloads waiting in a long line, and not wanting to wait, we visited the King. What a mistake. Rubbery eggs inside microwaved tortillas. Oh [...]
Central Time (3/13/10)
13 March 2010Having gotten the mail, and picked up some clothing at the alteration shop, it was time to move on. We bailed on the site in El Paso two days early. This makes our per-night cost be $25. Five dollars per night over our target. Oh well.
Return to Las Cruces, and Safely Home Again
11 March 2010We drove back to Las Cruces and got the mail. It was good that this showed up, since it had Roseann’s Social Security card, and we will need that to get her driver’s license. Along with the visit to the Post Office, we had lunch at La Posta, as recommended by Angel in a comment [...]
Down in the West Texas Town of El Paso…
11 March 2010… I fell in love with — well, you get the idea.
There’s a certain something to one’s first night spent in one’s new home state. We’ve stated that we are becoming Texas residents and on Monday we moved our trailer from Las Cruces to El Paso. We would have gotten our license plates, but Texas [...]
Alamogordo
8 March 2010On Sunday (3/7) we visited Alamogordo, NM, home of the New Mexico Museum of Space History. It took a bit over an hour to drive from Las Cruces to Alamogordo, via Hwy 70. US-70 passes through the White Sands Missile Range and the White Sands National Monument. Like most of the Desert Southwest, the scenery [...]
Deming, NM to Las Cruces, NM (3/4/10)
4 March 2010Moving briskly along the State of New Mexico brings us to Las Cruces.
The ride along I-10 for the past day or so has been pretty dreary. Lots of open space, very little development between towns. Occasionally there is a store for tourists, usually preceded by 20 miles of billboards. New Mexico allows the sale of [...]
By the time we get to Phoenix (2/25/2010)
25 February 2010We took quite a nice ride to day from Quartzsite to Phoenix (and on to Mesa) by way of US Hwy 60. Rather than staying on I-10, we performed what my parents taught me was “shunpiking“. We took Hwy 60 since we had better expectations of breakfast.
