I’ll be honest. When we planned this trip, both Skip and I wondered how we would handle 5+ months of traveling in our 400 square foot rig, much of which included 24/7 togetherness during our adventure travel. I’m delighted to report that we’ve truly enjoyed this adventure and remain happily married after 10,000 miles! Phew!…

Note: Skip is the author of this beautiful post as a Memorial Day tribute to his uncle Bob. One of the unique advantages to our RV travel has been the opportunity to visit important places that we wouldn’t ordinarily find convenient. Such was the case during our work project stay at Glen Eyrie in Colorado…

With all the recent media buzz regarding artificial intelligence, we wondered how AI would craft a poem about our RV life. Actually, this was our son, Erik’s, brilliant idea. He gets all the credit… well, Erik, mostly the AI tool chatgpt, and a few edits from yours truly. I promised a unique blog post so…

While we’ve loved serving with the SOWER ministry in January through March, we’ve relished the past five weeks of travel adventure. We refer to this time as our “holiday.” If you’ve been reading our blog, you know we’ve covered thousands of miles in Texas and hundreds more in New Mexico. For our final two weeks…

The northeast corner of New Mexico boasts the “Enchanted Circle,” an 84 mile drive through several small towns including Taos. The online pictures intrigued us. Moreover, we’d often discussed the idea of visiting Taos. Traveling from Texas to Colorado afforded a perfect opportunity to stop for a few days in this part of the country….

We’d long heard the claim that Palo Duro Canyon is the Grand Canyon of Texas. Turns out, that’s a fair claim. While the Grand Canyon is certainly larger, this gorgeous canyon is more colorful with an array of reds, browns, greens and whites. Standing at the scenic outlook (above) took my breath away. Another distinction…

We experienced a very usual welcome gift as we pulled into our campsite at Caprock Canyon…fresh bison chips right next to where we parked our rig. South Plains Bison roam freely in this marvelous state park, including around campsites on occasion. Just today I saw a bison grazing on the edge of our campground. While…

Celebrating Easter surrounded by God’s glorious creation was a gift. Oh what spectacular beauty we found in Big Bend, a massive 801,200 acre magnificent National Park gem! We also visited the nearby Big Bend Ranch State Park, another 300,000 expansive acres of desert and mountain vistas. We’ve enjoyed five days in this western Texas slice…

From the 1830s to the early 1900s, a significant influx of German immigrants settled in Texas. In recent census data, nearly two million Texans claim German heritage. Some of the notable towns birthed from this migration include Bulverde, New Braunfels, Boerne, Pflugerville, Walburg and Fredericksburg, all in Texas Hill Country. We were fortunate to spend…

Our first night of adventure began at the Texas Legato Winery Harvest Host. We were welcomed by fields blooming with blue bonnets and our gracious hosts. After a quiet night, we headed south to the magnificent hill country of Texas. We setup camp for three nights along Canyon Lake. With only one day to explore…
