In case you didn’t know it, Texas was an independent Republic for a few years after its war for independence from Mexico and before becoming a state of the US. Washington, Texas, near Brenham and College Station is where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. The drive to San Antonio took us through miles …

How’s John (and other stuff)?
We start this blog post with a drive from Kerrville to Waco. We picked Waco because its about half-way between Kerrville and Lewisville (near Dallas) where John lives. It was a nice drive through some of the great Texas Hill Country and then into the Prairies and Lakes of Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, …
A Trip To Waco …
This week we take a short trip to Waco, Texas. You know, home of the Branch Davidians and the BATF failed raid … but first some tidbits before we left Kerrville for Waco. Larry replaced the bathroom lavatory faucet. The original faucet was white plastic with a VERY short spout that you could never quite …

Are We Texians Yet?
It’s been too long since we posted, so we’ll try to catch up here without being too wordy. On Monday we got the Subaru, Titan, and travel trailer licensed with Texas plates. It was a relatively simple transaction that cost in total about what the Subaru alone would have cost to renew in CA (including …

At the park registration we met another refugee from California seeking asylum in Texas. They are from Ventura County and have been working on relocating since May. …
Is it Beginning?
Muleshoe, TX … Interesting name. We didn’t have a chance to do much exploring or research regarding the name, we can only assume. Sue found us a free RV park … Ray & Donna West Free RV Park in Muleshoe. Yep, totally free including electricity, water, and sewer. Thank goodness for electricity — Air Conditioning! …
The Adventure Turns Interesting …
Thursday we drove to Williams, AZ and stayed Grand Canyon Railway RV Park. Very upscale park with a lot of spaces. The drive-thru that we got was long enough for both tow vehicles and both trailers without unhitching either of them. About 30 minutes after retiring for the night we realized why the name includes …
… On The Road (Again) …
Well, PODS was scheduled to pick up the first POD (which was blocking our travel trailer) on Tuesday morning and we planned to leave on Wednesday morning after last minute errands on Tuesday. However, one of the company’s drivers called in sick on Tuesday which threw the entire week’s schedule off, and they pushed our …
