Sometimes I wish that we were better planners. But then I usually realize that it wouldn’t matter if we were because things seldom go as planned anyway. We ended up leaving Lake McClellan the day before Thanksgiving. We had planned to get to Monahan Sandhills State Park to spend Thanksgiving, but we were running late, […]
Lake McClellan in Texas
By 1 Comment
The first thing that we bought in Texas this year (well, besides fuel – we are ALWAYS buying fuel. 2 rigs, 11 mpg each…$200+ (and rising with fuel prices!) every 350 miles…yeah, adds up)…the first thing we bought in Texas this year was fishing licenses! The big boys were determined to fish this year, so […]
Alibates Flint Quarry NM, TX…
These days find us in one of our favorite places. Texas. We have hit Texas every year that we have traveled, and every year we come from Arizona and into Texas through El Paso. This year, we didn’t go to Arizona. Our Arizona landlords 😉 weren’t going to be home, and we are setting our […]

Last Friday we stopped by Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site. Located in south-east Colorado, this park is part of the Sante Fe Trail, and is a reconstructed fur traders adobe fort (fur traders – just up our alley!). We got there in the morning, excited for a fun day of old west living history. The […]

We were able to leave a month earlier this year, than we did last year, but we still didn’t miss the cold! We spent a week at my parent’s ranch in MT, then we spent a few days in WY checking the place out, then last Friday we stopped by Vaughn’s Uncle and Aunt’s house in […]

Last Friday we pulled in to Vaughn’s aunt and uncle’s house. We had to either stop by for just a couple of hours and jet for the south to beat a storm rolling through, or stay for the weekend. We decided to move in for the weekend, and ended up staying for 5 days! 🙂 […]
TOS Review – The Wild Brothers DVDs…
The Crew recently had the chance to review a new DVD missionary series called The Wild Brothers. The DVDs chronicle the 4 Wild brothers’ missionary lives in Papua Indonesia. We were sent volume 1 and volume 4 to view. I would give the age range on these from about 5 to 9; each volume contains […]

After we went to Scotts Bluff National Monument, we went north of Scotts Bluff about 45 miles to the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. The Agate Fossil Beds are (were) two small beds of dinosaur fossils that have been completely excavated. The two mounds that the beds were located on are still visible, and you can […]
Scotts Bluff National Monument, NE…
After our visit to Devil’s Tower, we drove back to Gillette (WY), picked up the 5er, and drove about 4 hours to Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This wasn’t our original plan, but since the flu set us back a day, we decided to make a long day of it, and we finally pulled in to the Scottsbluff, […]
Devil's Tower National Monument, WY…
While it seems that we have been back on the road for forever, in reality, it’s only been what, 4 days total??? 3 of those = 9 kids with the flu, mom too, in an RV, parked in a Walmart parking lot…3 days really does seem like forever given the circumstances. So, (given the circumstances)…we […]
