And of course I’m talking about sleep. Which was great. Just the right temp, my fan on low. For an RV park, Taos Valley RV Park is really nice. I would definitely recommend. I’m doing some exploring in old Taos today. Just some light urban (Taos urban) exploring. I parked by Kit Carson Park, and… Continue reading

Since I’ve showered! You’d better hold your nose. Well, not actually. I have showered now. I am in Taos tonight. The Kaibab Lake campground I stayed at for two nights didn’t have anything but a vault toilet. Right next to my campsite. Convenient, and a neat competition on who smelled worse, me or it. The… Continue reading

I had a nice dinner on Route 66! I stayed at Conchas Lake State Park located a little more than thirty miles northwest of Tucumcari. The drive up there was along this desolate two lane blacktop. It had a lonesome feel to it. Ranch land on either side. The occasional bored cow throwing a casual… Continue reading

Solo traveling presents its difficulties. Especiallly in taking pictures while driving. As in it’s pretty much impossible. I have a blurry and unreadable picture of the “welcome to New Mexico” sign as evidence. But I get ahead of myself. After leaving OK and entering Texas my goal was to stop at the welcome center and… Continue reading

Doesn’t have the same ring. But I think I’m going to stop and get a Texas steak. Last night was a real doozy. It was sweltering in the car. An oppressive heat had borne down on my location. I smugly lowered all four windows and put in the screens. It took a while to cool… Continue reading

Okay, maybe not. There were some slowdowns on I-40. Imagine that. I’m only eating one meal a day on my trip. Saves on pit stops. Tonight’s stop in Oklahoma is just another one-nighter. So not a lot to report. It’s hot. And buggy. I’m glad I bought window screens for my Outback. I named him… Continue reading

Short post as I enjoy my second dark mocha latte. My special concoction. As part of my journey blogs, I’ll share what I’m learning about car-glamping. I’ve already been on a multi-day one-site camp. This one-night stopover is a whole different animal. Yet some things will be consistent. Here’s a peek. I tried to think… Continue reading

And here we are. A wet and inauspicious start to the adventure. I’m not going to set much up, I think we are going to get more thunderstorms later. The trip down was uneventful. A Cash pit stop. However… this does not mean I must rough it. I’m only staying one night in Natchez Trace… Continue reading
