BAT Misbehavin'
... the sights we wanted to see in San Antonio (we'll have another go tomorrow), so we headed back to the campsite, with a stop off at Canyon Lake on the way. Needless to say, after the fog, the day had been warm and sunny and we'd missed most of it, ...

nomading without a car
As we were making the move from Toronto to Texas, the car sounded worse and worse. I didn't really hear anything bad until after our first day of towing the trailer with motorcycle. Personally, I think we ...
Canyon Lake
... Jason and Brian, and redistributing. I leave Sna Marcos at about 5:50PM, late start. I ride out on Hopkins Rd. heading straight for Canyon Lake. I arrive at a Shell station, call my aunt, and she comes about 15 miles to pick me up. My cousin, Berlin, has ...
Diggin' in the Dirt.
... ', the most memorable being a one-antlered white tailed deer, who we have named Eli. He straight-up follows us around. Apparently Texas is unique in their animal treatment policies. Many people keep these kind of wild animals as pets. Why would you keep a ...
Alfred Hitchcock. Birds.
Another early start, another day of manual labor. We began with more staining of the cages. We worked with Wes, the Maintenance Director guy. He's pretty rad. He has a daughter named Taylor. She, like us, is a 'country girl', or the in-between of ...

... from us here at Lazy L&L is quite the tourist destination as well as an entertainment centre what with the Gruene Hall (Texas' oldest dance hall, remember?) attracting some huge stars as well as local up and coming bands. So when one of our friends ...

The end of the run

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

first stop
Have made it out of Toronto to Canyon Lake, Texas. Have not really been nomading yet as my daughter did all the driving to get here. We made a stop in Indiana to pick up a motorcycle but came straight down ...
Early Bird Gets the Worm...
...in the Tequila at the end of the day? Especially after a long flight to Puerto Vallarta! Ok, maybe not tequila but champagne and margaritas for sure! Tomorrow at 4:00 AM, Marilyn and I leave for the San Antonio airport to catch a flight to Puerto ...
On the road again and again and again and again.
... ; Now we are riding through Texas. (You know how they say everthing is bigger… they weren’t lying.) We will arrive at Canyon Lake Cabins and Cottages in about 3 hours. My back is destroyed from two days of driving, but I know it will be worth ...
Still Here
