My Life and Travels
State park on the way to big house, could have gone to a rest stop but the park was nice on a sunny day. We got the last none reserved site in the park and this way I could dump the holding tanks.
Rest Stop while traveling
The rest stop on the north side of the highway was closed. It was only 2 miles to the next exit so we could turn around and spend the night at the south bound rest stop. This side of the highway had a parking spot that was actually flat, a good night.
Rest Stop getting ready to drive through California.
We are here for at least several days. Looking at the weather in California and to visit Richard and Vickie who are setting up home on the Colorado River for the winter/4 months.
Gilbert Ray County Park just passing through on our way to Quartzsite and on to the big house
Great pull-through site C23, this would be a great site to have for a while but we are working our way to Quartzsite so we can spend some time with Richard & Vickie.
We left Big Bend and headed toward the big house, 223 miles today.
At Big Bend we were 2244 miles from the big house, 1345 from Atlanta, GA and 1904 Washington DC.
Campsite picture
I am updating this post in directly into WordPress so I can put pictures into galleries. The app I use on my Ipad does not have a gallery option.
We are Rio Grande Village Campground in site 62.
I made a wrong turn while looking for a campsite and had to drive through the tent area, I now know the bracket I put on front of the cellphone signal booster works.
Think we will stay here until at least Monday 10/28.
Still on our way toward Big Bend National Park, 356 miles today. Up early tomorrow with a goal of getting a site in the park. We still have 89 miles to the campground. Filled up with water this evening and we will dump holding tanks when we get to the park.
I did learn from our trip to Death Valley last spring, reset the satellite TV’s location location this evening so we will have the three major networks while at Big Bend ( don’t think we will have cell service).
Back on the road heading toward Big Bend National Park in south west Texas. 222.4 miles today. It was cold last night, 27 degrees this morning.
We have been here many times before, great location. In site 8.
One of the other people in our Fiesta group also got to fly on Wednesday and they took this picture of the launch field.
I am in this picture, do you see me.
I’m in the basket under the Balloon with the arrow pointing at it. I guess I am a little hard to see.
