Seminole Canyon

I have been so badly bitten by the travel bug, I
spent the weekend happily "camped out" in
Seminole Canyon State
Park.
Larry is convinced I have lost my mind. As
people would pass us on the road he would mumble,
"Yeah, my wife is crazy." Everyone time I saw
another RV on the road I would point to it and say,
"Look, more crazy people."

How I Became An RV Convert
01/12/09 15:02
My life has taken an amazing turn the past few
weeks. I have been on 3 road trips in the last 30
days. The last one spent in the comfort of
our new RV the
OverlandTrail
Campground & RV Park
in Fort Davis, Texas. Yes gentle readers, BB
is now an RV camper convert. It was spending
several days and nights in the comfort of Moonie's
Dutchman travel trailer while attending the 2009
Chili Cook Off in Terlingua that made me a convert
to the RV way of life. Read

For the
past two weeks Moonie and I have been traveling
around west Texas, and seeing some of the most
beautiful scenery it offers. Some of the scenery we
had seen before, and some we hadn't. No matter what
the view was, us galavanting girls had tremendous
fun watching it. I came back with a ton of pictures
and memories that will make me smile for many years
to come. The first road trip we took was to Alpine
and Marfa to see if the mystery lights would come
out and play, and to celebrate Halloween at the
annual Halloween Bash at Railroad Blues. We wound
up taking a detour to Sonora on our way home to see
the Caverns of Sonora. Here are some notes
and photos
from
that first trip. Read More...
Big Bend Balloon Bash
10/09/09 23:12
With
a long boring Labor Day Weekend looming ahead
of us, I decided to follow Moonie's excellent
example, and Sunday morning Larry and I headed
to Alpine for the
Big
Bend Balloon Bash.
This little hot air balloon extravaganza has been
held every year since 1987. Each morning of the
event, weather permitting, a number of hot air
balloons rise from the ground and drift up into the
sky. This year the thermals weren't very good, and
none of the balloons got very high, or far from the
lift off area. However, watching those colorful
balloons rise as high as they did, and drift as far
as some did was an experience I am so glad I
decided to try. Read
