adventures with a dog and an airstream
We were in Austin from February 16 to February 18, 2021. Read about our previous visits here: 2017, 2018, and 2019, and earlier on this trip in 2021. Have you been following our winter weather saga? We dummies left sunny...
We were in Fort Stockton from February 15 to February 16, 2021. 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...
We were in Mesilla from February 14 to February 15, 2021. 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...
We were in Bisbee from February 12 to February 14, 2021. 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...
We were in Lost Dutchman from February 10 to February 12, 2021. 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...
We were in Catalina from February 8 to February 10, 2021. 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,...
We were in Tucson from February 4 to February 8, 2021. Read about our first visit in 2019 here. It’s a long drive from Marfa to Tucson! We don’t normally like to pull eight-hour driving days, but we were so...
We were in Marfa from February 3 to February 4, 2021. Marfa is a surprising place: a charming, half-hippie, half-cowboy little town waaaay out in southwest Texas. It’s known for a thriving art scene and the mysterious Marfa Lights, it...
We were in Big Bend from February 1 to February 3, 2021. Read about our past visits here: 2019, 2018, and 2016. We love Big Bend! Is it our favorite National Park? Maybe! It’s too hard to choose, but Big...
We were in Alpine from January 31 to February 1, 2021. Read about our past visits here: 2019, 2018, and a couple hours in 2016. After some big city fun in Austin and San Antonio, we shot west toward our...
