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 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...
We were in San Antonio from January 29 to January 31, 2021. 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 were in Austin from January 26 to January 29, 2021. Read about our previous visits here: 2017, 2018, and 2019. Austin made us forget all about our disappointing stopover in Vidor! I need to write an Austin Favorites post,...
We were in Vidor from January 25 to January 26, 2021. 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...
Cold weather is for the birds. Especially during the pandemic when all our activities are outdoors. So why not go to a place where the outdoors is more pleasant? Here’s the plan (and here’s what we actually ended up doing):...
If you look at our maps, you may notice a swath of empty space through prime National Parks areas. We’re missing Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, Glacier National Park in Montana, Yellowstone and Grand Teton in Wyoming, and...
