Three nights in Austin, TX (visit #6)–Tucson for Christmas trip
We were in Austin in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visits here: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and again a few weeks later in 2021. Oh man we love Airstreaming in (to?) Austin. The location of the campground, the food, the weather (well, usually), the running, the beer, the music… it’s just…

One night in Fredericksburg, TX (visit #3)–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Fredericksburg in January 2024 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our second visit in 2018 here, and our first in 2016 here. As we drove east from Las Cruces, we considered options for our next stop along I-10 on the way to Austin. Fort Stockton is just under five…

One night in Amarillo, TX–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Amarillo in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. From Tulsa, we were back on the interstate for five hours, pushing west west west to Amarillo. We’d hoped to spend the night and do some hiking in gorgeous Palo Duro Canyon State Park just outside Amarillo, but with the forecast…

One-and-a-half days in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, TX–Big Trip #4
We were in Palo Duro in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Did you know the second largest canyon in the US is in Texas? I assume I don’t need to say what the #1 largest is. We’ve had Palo Duro Canyon on our master map of possible camping locations for a few…

Three, no, two nights in Austin, TX (visit #5)–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Austin in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth Trip. Haha!! Read about our previous visits here: 2017, 2018, and 2019, and earlier on this trip in 2021; and our subsequent visit in 2024 here. Have you been following our winter weather saga? We dummies left sunny Arizona and headed into the icy…

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 Marfa, TX–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Marfa in February 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. 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 has a walkable little downtown, and some good food and drink options.…

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…
