Here’s a shot of our view driving south on I-25 yesterday: Last night we stopped in Deming, New Mexico at the Steer Safe factory, where we were invited to park next to their building, and plug into electric and water outlets on the side of the building. We didn’t hook up to water since the [...]
That’s right, it’s going to be cold in Albuquerque tomorrow, with lows projected to be 23° F. So, we’re getting back on the road in the morning, heading south this time. We will stop either in Deming or Las Cruces, probably the latter since we didn’t get the water pump fixed here as planned. No [...]
We just heard a popping sound from behind us, inside the coach. When I went to investigate, I found a bag of tortilla chips that was very full of air had exploded from the altitude. So, we’re eating some with guacamole dip now. I guess we will need to let some air out of the [...]
We’re driving across New Mexico on interstate highway I-40. The new AirCard is not getting much of a signal, but eventually web pages do load, usually. The router’s “Cellular Signal Strength” inicator has been stuck on one bar for a long time now. If you’re interested in the gory details, see my techie blog. In [...]
One of the songs on my iPhone’s iPod app is by Willie Nelson, Waltz Across Texas (with You). We are going to get moving west again tomorrow, but for now we’re still south of Princeton, Texas, northeast of Dallas, at the same park we stayed at last year in the middle of Lake Lavon. We [...]
Right now we’re enjoying the warm sun in Princeton, Texas, just east of Dallas. It’s a welcome change from icy Louisiana, where we had to wait till afternoon to leave Friday morning because our water hose had frozen solid in the 23° F temperature! I didn’t know it got that cold in Louisiana, ever. Check [...]
We stayed at the state park in Florida a day longer than planned, since Phil had develped a cough and sinus headache. Today he feels better, and now we are half way across Mississippi, about an hour from tonight’s stop in Slidell, Louisiana. Slidell isn’t where I’d picked to stop when planning this trip, but [...]
Isn’t that what the Florida Chamber of Commerce calls this weather? At least it’s not hot and muggy. Chilly and muggy I can live with. Today was a bit of a pleasant surprise. Highway 98 took a sudden left in Perry, and when we saw the sign we were in the right lane, but there [...]
We are about 70 miles from the Perry KOA campground where I made reservations for tonight. We were just commenting that the town we’re passing through, Chiefland, is bigger than we expected, when we heard a metallic scraping sound. We pulled over and I got out and looked under tge RV and the car, but [...]
We are on the road at last. We got a really late start, but we’re both caught up on our sleep now. Anyway, by leaving this afternoon, we had some help getting the car hooked up since Chris was over mowing the yard. He gave Phil a hand unplugging the electrical cable extension, too. Sitting [...]
