One night in Pensacola Beach, FL–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Pensacola Beach in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. We left New Orleans heading toward Eastpoint, FL with a one-night gap in our itinerary to fill. Pensacola is about halfway between the two towns, and there’s an RV campground at Pensacola Beach that looked promising and had an available site. We…

Three nights in New Orleans, LA (visit #2)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in New Orleans in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. Read about our previous visit in 2020 here and our subsequent visit in 2024 here. We almost didn’t go to New Orleans.

Three, no, two nights in Austin, TX (visit #5)–Winter Warmth trip

One night in Fort Stockton, TX–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Fort Stockton in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth Trip. This may be the shortest review of Fort Stockton ever written. We left frozen Mesilla, foolishly thinking conditions would improve as we headed east. Wrong! The roads were total crap! It was so cold out! We eventually made it to the Fort…

One night in Mesilla, NM–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Mesilla in February 2021 when on our Winter Warmth Trip. The day started so wonderfully: we drove from Bisbee to Chiricahua National Monument for a gorgeous hike through the hoodoo wonderland. It was a cold day, and we laughed at the snow flurries because we were in the Desert Southwest! Ha! Snow…

Two nights in Bisbee, AZ–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Bisbee in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. From Lost Dutchman up near Phoenix, we swung south again almost to Mexico for the last stop on our delightful little tour of Arizona. Bisbee is a small hamlet built into a hillside south of Tucson, full of art galleries, copper…

Two nights at Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Lost Dutchman in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Lucky us: we left one absurdly beautiful Arizona state park and headed to another. From Catalina State Park just north of Tucson it’s a 1.5-hour drive up to Lost Dutchman State Park, east of Apache Junction, a suburb of Phoenix.…

Two nights in Catalina State Park, AZ–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Catalina in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our second visit in 2023 here. If you’re anywhere near Tucson, just go to Catalina State Park. Just go! Only about 20 minutes north of Tucson, Catalina is insanely gorgeous, the hikes are (mostly) dog-friendly, and the campground is…

We were in Tucson in early February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our first visit in 2019 here, our third in 2022 here, and our fourth in 2023 here. And I finally wrote a Tucson Favorites post! It’s a long drive from Marfa to Tucson! We don’t normally like to…
