Mostly, anyways. We also ended up in Texas during the end-times freezing temperatures and power and water outages. Other than that, it was a wonderful trip!
Here’s your teaser while I start to work on the trip posts. We had extremely spotty campground internet service while traveling, which is my excuse for not posting anything from the road, and then I had a bit of post-trip lack of motivation. But:
We stuck to the general plan outlined in our last post. Here are the specific destinations, and what you have to look forward to reading about:
- Atlanta (family fun)
- Ocean Springs, MS (cute town on the way)
- Vidor, TX (random dud on the way)
- Austin (love it there)
- San Antonio (food, drink, history)
- Alpine, TX (a must-do for us on the way to Big Bend)
- Big Bend National Park (our favorite national park)
- Marfa, TX (more going on there than Alpine)
- Tucson (great food and drink and hiking)
- Catalina State Park near Tucson (fantastic!!!)
- Lost Dutchman State Park near Phoenix (also fantastic!! but with one fewer exclamation point)
- Bisbee, AZ (artsy little town near hiking)
- Mesilla, NM (seemed charming but was frozen)
- Fort Stockton, TX (frozen stopover)
- Austin (armageddon)
- Westlake, LA (where we landed after fleeing Texas)
- New Orleans, LA (recovering from our ordeal with sun, food, drink)
- Pensacola Beach, FL (incredible beachfront campsite!)
- Eastpoint, FL (oysters and donuts)
- Bronson, FL (gorgeous resort-like campground in horse country)
- Atlanta (more family fun)
- Charlotte (last hurrah on the way home)
But the photos to come are better than the words. Here’s a sample:
