... three were a farm, an ancient gas station, and "Hair Cuts by Janis". It took us all of 2 minutes to drive completely through Roosevelt. We then got back on the I-10 and drove on to Junction. We checked in at a nice, brand new Motel 6 and had another dinner of PB&J, string cheese, and oranges. Now we're watching the Jazz game on TV. Tomorrow it's off to Austin! I'm very excited to eat some great food and have a break from driving.

Bonjour a tous Et bien oui nous sommes reparti ce matin, en effet nous avons quitté notre camping a mission a 7 hre, ca faisait presque un an que nous n'avions pas remorqué la caravane, j'appréhendais un peu mais je dois dire que ce fut une bonne journee puisque finalement on a fait 800 km ce qui est quand meme beaucoup. Nous sommes toujours au Texas, que c'est long a traverser, j'en reviens tout simplement pas. Le premier 250 km était davantage sur des ...

After visiting with Gramma, we got back on the road to reach our destination for the night. We still had several hours of travel, and didn't get to Junction until well after dark. The ride was easy-just a bit of rain, no biggy. It was actually rather pretty. Not as empty and ugly as we had expected. But since it was dark when we set up, it wasn ...

I continued the marathon of driving today as I motored on for a second straight day. I croseed the Mississippi River and drove through Houston and San Antonio before finally settling down for the night in Junction, Texas. This place reminded me of Garth Brooks' song "Nobody Gets Off in this Town".

After having to change my plans due to Brenda bailing on me in N.O. (it's okay - I understand), I wound up in Austin to meet up with Matt H. and visit Lisa V. I was supposed to go to San Antonio (sorry Sandy) but it seems the change of plans was fortuitous as the night before I was supposed to be there, there was horrendous flooding - well it made national news anyway.

I'm in Fort Stockton without Wireless connection so will up load this as soon as I can find it. I'm headed to Austin, TX today to meet up with Lisa V. and Matt H. tomorrow.<br><br>A few observations so far:<br>· The National Parks Pass is a must! It costs $80 per year but I /we would have paid $123 so far without it. You can take 3 others with you on your card.<br>· Go in the off season (before May and after Sept.). In some places you have the park ...

... plenty of shade. I found Papa Wolf's huge shop building and found a place to park along side Greg Messer who was one of the few folks already there. Within minutes, Lance and Joe Miller pulled up next to me. After greeting everyone, I walked around a bit and checked out some of the sections. After comparing the Amateur and Novice lines, I decided that I should ride the Novice line. I was here to have fun and there was quite a gap between the degree of difficulty between ...

My itinerary includes, ensenada, Mexico/ Keeling, Taiwan/ Singapore/ Kuantan, Malaysia/ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam/ Hong Kong/ Busan, Korea/ Kobe, Japan. I will also be taking side trips to Bejing and Cambodia. Well that is it for now Check back for updates.

... sat in a muddy eddy with her dress on and then cried as we had to finally pull these girls into the car for the next leg. As we passed a man parked under a large shade tree with a folding chair and a cooler we said "you have the best seat in the house", to which he replied "and I am not moving all day". What a way to spend a Sunday. We tried to hit the Cowboy Artists Museum in Kerrville, but it would not open for another three hours so we pressed on to Bandera. This is ...

I had only a short time before the trailer was due so I drove pretty much straight through. I headed west on 190 and did enjoy the view of the countryside of rolling hills. Once I turned onto 10 dead mule deer laying along the road were a common sight. Short entry but long day-I stopped at a rest stop east of Sonora at 12:33 am for a nap.
