Oh wow. I thought I’d come update the blog about our Texas adventures these past few weeks and realized that I haven’t yet even documented getting to Texas! I guess my brief mention in our 2024 Travel Route & Year in Review post mentally checked those adventures off my list. So, let’s get caught up! These […]

The RV Entrepreneur Summit 2018 – Recap (#RVESummit)
We just wrapped up an amazing time at The RV Entrepreneur Summit in Fredericksburg, TX – held at Jellystone RV Park (awesome park!). This conference is founded and hosted by Heath & Alyssa Padgett, who also produce an awesome podcast interviewing working on the road RVers. This is the second year for the summit with […]
Eastward Bound: Stop in the Austin Area
Last we checked in on the eastward repositioning, we had just left Seminole Canyon State Park near Del Rio, TX. Austin is what I consider my home town, where I grew up. Since my brother still lives there, it’s a frequent place we route through when crossing the country. Austin is also attracts amazing people, which […]
Eastward Bound: Seminole Canyon State Park – Comstock, TX
We don’t often think too far ahead in our routing, we prefer planning things a day at a time. On this particular repositioning, we know we need to keep ‘heading east’ and we’ll likely eventually make it to Florida. (You do start to learn these complex navigational things after so many years on the road.) We […]
The Road to Albuquerque
While our pace of getting from Elkhart to Alburquerque was not as relaxed as we would have ideally liked, we made the best of it and worked in a couple of longer stays in scenic locations to get some catch-up time. We generally followed Route 66 the entire way from St. Louis. When we last updated […]
Texas Is Big, Part 2 (Our Exit via East Texas)
Our time in Austin was jam packed with quality family time, and lots of social time. We could have easily extended our stay another few days just to enjoy some time to ourselves and attend to some errands. But it was time to move on, particularly since we had our windshield glass replacement scheduled north […]
Smashed RV Windshield – What to Do if a Rock Cracks your Motorhome’s Glass
KA-BANG!!! That’s the sound that startled me out of a the near daze I was in, zoned out in the passenger seat trying to cope with the traffic chaos. We were navigating the roads through the oil fields of Texas just south of the Odessa/Midland area, anxious to escape the endless miles of big trucks, torn […]
Family, Friends & Fame in Austin
Wow.. what a whirlwind of a visit to Austin. When booking more than a week in a single location, it always feels like we’ll have all the time in the world to fit in work, social time and exploring. Then it goes by so quickly. There were several reasons for this visit to Austin that […]
Bluebonnets… Everywhere!
One of my favorite places to be in the springtime is the hill country of Texas. Thanks to the efforts of Lady Bird Johnson, wildflowers paint the roadsides. First starting with the Texas state flower, the bluebonnet. Also known as the Lupinus texensis or Texas lupine, the flower is generally a deep and vibrant indigo […]
Texas is BIG – 660 Miles through West Texas
I grew up in Texas, Austin to be precise. We’ve driven through the state many times over the years. But yet, it always amazes me just how big Texas is. Charting any trip through the state is a daunting task. So many miles, so many routes you can take, and even after all our years […]
