One day in Abilene, TX–Big Bend Loop
We visited Abilene in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. When plotting the route for this trip, we had some definite destinations that needed to be connected by unknown intermediate points. Abilene was one such point, chosen because it has a few breweries and a campground not too far from town.

One day in Terlingua, TX–Big Bend Loop
We visited Terlingua in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. How do I describe Terlingua… It’s a tiny ghost town in the desert with nightly live music and delicious margaritas. It’s famous for its annual chili cookoff–which is actually two competing cookoffs, and one giant party–every November. It’s a surprising little

Two days in Alpine, TX (visit #1)–Big Bend Loop
We visited Alpine in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Read about our subsequent visits here: late 2018, and 2021. West Texas is a really unique and wonderful place.

Trip planning: looping out to Big Bend
This planning post was for a trip to Big Bend in January 2018. We visited Big Bend on our three-month trip two years ago and, because we were based in Ft Davis, an hour and a half from the entrance to the park, we spent just ONE DAY in the park. One measly day! We knew

Two days in Savannah, GA (visit #1)–Short Southeast Loop
We were in Savannah in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. J and I had not been to Savannah, so we wanted to spend as much time as possible wandering around and soaking up the history and architecture of the city. Our internet research

One day in Greenville, SC–Short Southeast Loop
We were in Greenville in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. Read about our second visit in 2024 here. We only had 24 hours in Greenville–lunchtime to lunchtime–but we packed a lot of activity in to that time: lots of walking, followed by snacks, beer, dinner, beer, nightcap, and BISCUITS!
