Note that I am taking some geographical liberty with the city name. The official address of the state park is in Faywood, NM. But right next to Faywood, NM is Dwyer, NM. The weather apps give our location as all kinds of different names. Thus, I can pick what I want. Pretty good night sleep….
We had been to Oliver Lee (not Robert Lee, not Oliver Read) park before and it did not disappoint. They seem to have put some money into it since we were last there. The views are awesome! A lovely, mostly quiet night sleep that featured some pretty big winds. Post wakeup I headed out to…
Realized on this trip we entered Texas through Texola and exited through Texico. True story. Pretty good night sleep in the municipal park near the little lake. At some point somebody drove past us slowly with the music blaring. We used about 2% of our propane capacity keeping the van warm last night. When I…
Every seasonal time change I get the Chambers Brothers song “Time Has Come Today” stuck in my head. I first heard that song in high school when a friend (Jeff Pierce) played it for me. Jeff also introduced me to 10 Years After. If you are out there, Jeff, I hope you are well and…
Lovely night sleep. Furnace kept us toasty while it dropped below zero C outside. I turned on the tank heaters around 0530 for a bit but that was probably not needed. I headed out for the morning walk towards the big cave. Ambient temperature was -1 C. It’s a combo of short stints on various…
Yup same location as yesterday. Well technically, same park, different campground. Was a wonderful night last night as we went to sleep listening to the coyotes. No traffic noise. No people noise. Temperature dropped through the night but the furnace on its lowest settings kept us plenty warm. Morning walk was along the Kiowa trail….
Just a lovely night sleep at Lake El Reno RV Park. While we could hear traffic, it was off in the distance and was more like white noise. A light drizzle began I commenced this morning’s walk but I decided to ignore the light rain and keep going. I walked along the wonderful concrete sidewalks…
Cook’s RV Park was good to us. Fairly good night sleep. Only minor drawback was that the park is at the top of the hill, so vehicles were louder than usual getting up the hill on the 2 lane regional road. It’s an acceptable spot. Maybe not the place you want to be, but at…
Cracker Barrel has been very, very good to us. Despite being rather close to the highway, we slept pretty darn well. The forecasted storms did not occur overnight. Bit of a pity as they would have obfuscated the road noise a bit. We were both of relatively early. I hit the road for my walk…
Morning walk was up to the beach at Canatara Park. Day one into this trip and we can cross off a visit to a beach! A lovely 4km round trip. Once I returned I treated myself to a shower, might be the last one for a while at Mom’s RV Park and we hit the…
