One night in Westlake, LA–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Westlake in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. Hooray! This is the last post from our Winter Storm Uri series! In February, we drove into the cold and snow in Mesilla and it got worse in Fort Stockton and was absolutely awful in Austin. After being stuck in Austin for a…

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…

Four nights in Tucson, AZ (visit #2)–Winter Warmth trip
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…

Two days in Big Bend National Park (visit #4)–Winter Warmth Trip
We were in Big Bend from February 1 to February 3, 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Read about our past visits here: late 2018, early 2018, and 2016. We love Big Bend! Is it our favorite National Park? Maybe! It’s too hard to choose, but Big Bend is in the running for…

One night in Alpine, TX (visit #3)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Alpine in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. 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 probably-favorite (but man that’s a hard choice to make) National Park. We…

Two days in San Antonio, TX–Winter Warmth trip
We were in San Antonio in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. In all our gallivanting around Texas, we’d never taken the Airstream to San Antonio. We’ve seen Austin and San Antonio as an either/or, can’t stop at both, and we love Austin so much that it has always won. Well, it…

One night in Vidor, TX–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Vidor from January 25 to January 26, 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. Where??? It’s a loooooong drive between Austin and anywhere appealing to the east. This Houston to New Orleans road trip guide has some potentially good stopover options, but after leaving Ocean Springs we wanted to keep driving…

One night in Ocean Springs, MS–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Ocean Springs in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. We left Atlanta and headed west, stopping for a night in Ocean Springs, MS, a posh and bustling little beach town full of eating and drinking establishments. It’s a quainter alternative to larger Biloxi across the bay. The main commercial…

We went somewhere warm in February
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…
