As I’ve said many times, I love me some little downtown areas. I love walking up and down the streets, especially ones with old western boardwalks, and learning the histories of these places. Downtown Fredericksburg, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, ranks near the top of all the downtown places we’ve been. Many of…
Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
LBJ and GWB
We dubbed our trek across Texas The Presidential Drive. We drove east across Texas on a mission. We had two days to get from Arizona to Georgia for the FMCA Rally which meant little time for stopping. But, a wonderful thing happened in the early morning as we left Van Horn, TX. Mark agreed to…
Downtown Perry
The weather was perfect during the FMCA Rally, with the exception of a quick shower on Friday. Thursday’s sky was bright blue and I was going to enjoy it. I walked through the vendor booths and strolled the RVs in the morning then headed to downtown Perry after lunch. The fairgrounds weren’t far so I…
Touring Tiffin
Red Bay is a small town with a population of about 3,000 which I have to say, is more than I thought. I figured maybe several hundred, not a few thousand. Then, as we drove into town, I wondered how many worked at the factory. It’s a cute little town. We arrived in the late…
Alamo Lake, Take 2
Our last trip to Alamo Lake was an almost entirely new adventure. Yeah, we went to some of the same places but this trip was all about exploring new trails from our lake side campsite. Mark read about The Arizona Peace Trail and wanted to check it out. Turns out, Alamo Lake is almost in…
Alamo Lake
We are always on the lookout for fun places to trail ride, be it in the Jeep or RZR. Mark has a special folder on this computer for campgrounds we’d like to try along with a folder of places we’d like to ride. But but but, I get credit for finding this fun place. I…
Perry People
One thing you’ll notice besides all the pretty new RVs are the people at a rally. There are lots of them. And a whole big bunch of them are very nice. Lindsey, along with all of the hardworking FMCA staff were literally everywhere all week, camera in hand. You could see a blue FMCA polo…
Perry Days
The time had arrived! 1,924 miles later we arrived at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter for the 99th FMCA Rally. We arrived after the parking volunteers had finished for the day and spent the night in the holding area. We deployed the slides, turned on the satellite, grabbed a beer and headed out for…
Take Me To Perry
The drive from our Arizona abode to the Perry fairgrounds was a fast one. I know, I know, many of you take many days, even weeks traveling 1,924 miles. We had to do it in a weekend, a long one but still just a weekend because of a certain word: JOB. Our original plan was…
Desert Bar
There is an enchanted place in the middle of the Arizona desert that draws people of all ages from all parts of our country and Canada. It’s called the Nellie E. Saloon or, Desert Bar for short. Ask any person with a Jeep or UTV or any snowbird about Desert Bar and I bet you…
