Carlsbad, New Mexico: Caverns, Hiking, and Aliens!

Carlsbad, New Mexico: Caverns, Hiking, and Aliens! Our almost six months in Texas has come to an end with our westward journey into New Mexico. The trip across west Texas was a long drive, but we enjoyed the changing scenery. We split the 500 miles up into smaller chunks by taking overnight stops at Junction and Fort Stockton, Texas before arriving at our destination of Carlsbad, New Mexico (LINK). Did I mention that we saw a huge cavern, took a great hike and went to Roswell, NM?

Fredericksburg – Texas Hill Country and a Visit From Family!

We really enjoyed our short nine day stay in this lovely small German town! Fredericksburg definitely made the “return to” list. Besides having a great and walkable downtown area (that was only 3-4 blocks from the RV park), the area has a multitude of wineries and great restaurants, the LBJ Texas White House and ranch nearby, and the surrounding hills are rich with abundant wildflowers!

San Antonio – Mission to See the Missions

We finally took a day to tour the historic Spanish Missions during our week in San Antonio. One of the first things we did upon arriving in town, was to walk the Riverwalk and have lunch at one of the fine restaurants. We love the riverwalk. I could do that every day. It’s like walking a beach at sunset. You are simply drawn to it. On the other hand, the majestic missions are rich with 1600’s history and are interesting to study. So, just before we left San Antonio, we were on a mission!

San Antonio; King William Historical District

We really enjoyed walking through the King William district the last time that we were in San Antonio. So, returning to the city this was a must do enjoyable walk through a beautiful and historic neighborhood. Just south of downtown, this area is filled with stately old homes built in Greek revival, Victorian and Italianate architecture. It ranks right up there with Beacon Hill in Boston, the French Quarter in New Orleans and Georgetown in Washington D.C. We’ve now seen all four!

Flight To Indy To See The Moms

Gotta see the moms! We wanted to work in a weeklong trip back to Indiana to see our moms before taking off on our spring/summer/fall plans. Finally decided to extend our stay here at Llano Grande Resort by a couple of weeks. This is a very safe and secure park to leave our rolling home for a week. So, we booked our flights and a rental car and were off to the Great Up North on Tuesday March 19th!

RV Trip Planning 2019

Planning for RVer’s is a debatable topic. There are certainly two camps of full-time RVers. Those who plan and those who wing it. The planning that I’m writing about is a pre-plan of the RV route to all destinations and RV parks for the year or at least a few months in advance. It is a huge amount of work and can take several weeks to complete working a few hours a day.
