Day 201: Heading back to our home state of California.

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Last night we parked next to big rigs at the Flying J truck stop in Ehrenberg, Arizona. This is the same spot where we spent out first night as full timers back in 2010.

Day 200: The Living Desert Museum and Organ Stop Pizza.

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Today marks our 200th day on the road since we left Las Vegas. Technically we have been in the Airstream for much longer than that but the daily posts did not start for this trip until we departed from our 5-night hotel stay in sin city. We are getting very close to home and by the end of today, we will be even closer.

Day 197: Heading into Tucson, Arizona.

Friday, April 26th, 2013

We intentionally spent the night just short of Tucson last night in the town of Benson so we can go see one of the best preserved natural caves in the world. We found a Wal-Mart in Benson that had a no RV overnight sign but the manager had no problems with us being there. It is becoming more common to have cities and counties ban RV overnight parking in Wal-Marts.

Day 196: Rockhound State Park, New Mexico.

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

As we drove west last night out of Las Cruces, we contemplated making the long drive all the way into Arizona and settle somewhere in Tucson. That would have been a really long trek and we would be missing a stretch of I-10 that we have not explored much in the past. We decided to stop at the town of Deming, New Mexico for dinner and stay the night at the Wal-Mart.

Day 195: White Sands National Monument.

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

We finally made our way across Texas last night and landed in a Wal-Mart in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We have not been back here since near the beginning of our trip in 2010.

Day 194: Leaving Marfa, Texas for New Mexico.

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

Our third day at El Cosmico is our last as we packed up our site and prepared to head back out on the road. We have a handful of places we still want to check out in town but we will do that on our way out.

Day 192: The El Cosmico in Marfa, Texas.

Friday, April 12th, 2013

Our ordeal with the Texas Highway Patrol last night left me pretty riled and unable to sleep well for the rest of the night. If you don’t know what I am referring to, go read the end of this post and you will know what happened.

Day 191: Caverns of Sonora and the Texas Highway Patrol.

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

Last night we spent our first night at a Texas rest stop. Most, if not all, of the roadside rest stops in Texas allow at 24-hour stay. It stems back to the depression era when people were moving west to look for work and needed a place to camp for the night.

Day 190: Salt Lick BBQ and Fredericksburg, Texas.

Sunday, April 7th, 2013

After our excursion in Austin yesterday, we actually found a Wal-Mart near the city that allowed overnight parking. At first glance, you wouldn’t think they would allow it because it is a smaller store. After we asked the manager inside, they gave us permission as long as we park in a designated area which we happily obliged.

Day 189: Keeping it weird in Austin, Texas.

Monday, April 1st, 2013

Last night after we left Houston, we started to make our way towards Austin, Texas. At the town of Bastrop, 35 miles east of Austin, we passed the midway point of Ventura, CA and Key West Florida. We are now officially closer to where we started back in July 2012 than Hemingway’s polydactyl cats.

Day 186: Meeting new friends in Beaumont, Texas.

Friday, March 15th, 2013

We found a Cracker Barrel last night after our failed search for a Walmart where the GPS asked us to exit an off ramp that did not exist. It took us further down the freeway in the town of Beaumont, Texas. We don’t really have any plans of staying here long except to meet someone we have been friends with online who happens to live in this town.

Day 185: Tabasco Factory and Jungle Gardens at Avery Island.

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

From New Iberia, Avery Island is just a few short miles away. Since our only purpose to come down here is to see Avery Island, we headed straight there as we got ready in the morning.
