We made it to New Mexico just fine. We are camped for the night at a park Western Skys Rv Park in Vado NM. It aint much but it will do for the night. Will leave here in the morning for Benson Arizona for the night.
1-4-12
We made it to Benxon Arizona in good shape but a bit early as we forgot to change the clocks (back an hour). This is a nicer place and has cable so don't need to set up the dish. Tomorrow we will head to Casa Grande for a week. We can check out Gloria's house there.
1-5-12

We made it to Casa Grande AZ by noon and got set up in a nice pull through site. We will be here for a week then off to Yuma AZ. Got all unloaded and then wet shopping. Yes Gloria had to hit Wal Mart and try hard to clean them out. Then off to the food store for the real important things. Sure glad I have a big truck. Tomorrow I have to take the truck in to have the right front wheel seal replaced. Did the left one before I left Denver now the right let go. Not sure why both went out but will get it fixed.

We have been having a good time out here. The weather has been great. Days in the 70's nights in the 40's but guess it is going to cool down to the 60's the rest of the week. We even went swimming the other day I got the truck fixed and things there are good. We went to Gloria's the other day and found it needs some cleaning up. She found a guy who will clean all the weeds up and trim a tree and haul it all away. That will make it easier on us. I will do some of the other stuff, like put some screws in a shed roof as the wind had tried to pull up one side. Also need to fix a vent on the back of the house. Looks like the place has settled some so we need to find someone to re level it up again. Bristol like this place but mostly likes to go out at night to explore.Got the bike out and did some ridding and that was Great. The people here in the park are real friendly and we have met a bunch of them and some from Colorado.

Went to Gloria's place yesterday and the guy did a good job cleaning up the weeds and the tree. I tried to level up the door area some and at least got the back door to work good. Today we took the bike up the road  to the next town (Maricopa) and stoped at the casino t loose some money. It was a great ride and the weather was good. Also picked up a tire to Gloria's old bike she had at the house and I fixed that. No rest for the wicked. Will leave here the 12th for Yuma Arizona for 4 days.

Well we are in Yuma Arizona at Yuma Lakes RV Resort. This is a 5 star park with over 800 sites. Pool, Hot Tub, and all sorts of other things to keep you busy. They also have a Cafe that has Breakfast and Dinner. We will have to try that out. People seem to be friendly and one guy even Gloria some lettuce. We will be here 4 days and even make a trip to Mexico. A bit cool here today only 64 with some wind but better than 35 and snow....
1-15-2012
Ok Thursday we went to Los Algodones Mexico as Gloria could not find a Wal Mart close by. Was thinking I was going to have to leave her there as her Passport was expired but they let her back in any way.
We picked up some small things and had lunch and came back. It is a nice little town with lots of people trying to sell you something.. Yesterday we took the bike and went to the Yuma Territorial Prison that was built in the 1800's. They had a gun fight competition going on and that was great. Today we will just sit back and do nothing and get ready to head to Calif. in the morning.

We are farther west in Texas

We left Lake Conroe and made it to Lake Medina Texas just outside Pipe Creek. We hit some rain on the way (makes sense as I washed the truck and trailer yesterday) but not too bad. Got here about 1 PM and set up our site. First things Bristol did was go hunting a Deer. There are tons of them around here as people feed them all the time. Will post some pictures of them later. It was around 68 today and the rain stayed away. More Later.

11-22 Well we have just been staying around the park as the weather has been a bit cool. Rained most of last night. Sure hope ther people down here in Texas say thanks to us for bringing the rain they need so bad. Sure enjoying this park as it is real nice and the people are real frendly. Today we went to a place called Natural Bridge Caverns and it was great. Will post pictures so you all can enjoy them like we did. Gloria went with me on the first Cavern toure but stayed behind on the second as it was a tough climb. Wow was it nice to see all the stuff. Will be doing the River Walk in San Antonio next week but not Sea World as we think the one in San Deigo is better.
12-25
Well today is Christmas  and we wish you all a Very Merry Christmas from Medina Lake Texas. The sun is out but still cool around 59 today. We will be having dinner at the activity Center with the people from the park at noon. Should be a good time. Then we will just sit around or nap and let the great dinner settle.
12-27


Mission San Jose



Mission Concepcion



The Alamo



Today was a nice day as the temp got up into the high 60's. We went into San Antonio to go to the Missions and the River Walk. First we stopped at Mission San Jose, It is a very large mission and great to go through. Then we stopped at Mission Concepcion, this one is smaller but just as nice and worth the stop. There are several more in the area but we did not go the them. We ended up at the Alamo and that was great except you could not take any picture in the mission. But nice to be in such a famous place. Then walked to the River Walk and took a boat ride along the walk. Not allot of shops but a ton of restaurants. The boat ride was nice as you get to see allot of the history of San Antonio. Then back to camp for dinner. Have to admit parking the big truck down town was not easy but we did finally find a spot. Glad we had a GPS...... will put some pictures up soon of these places.

12-31
Happy New Year to all our friends and family. Hope you new year is the best yet. We will be going out to the Activity center for awhile tonight to do some celebrating. Tomorrow we will start getting things ready to travel on Monday for Arizona. We have met some Great people here and have fun with them. Lee and Elaine even took us to the Mexican Market in San Antoino. It is lots of fun to walk around and look at all the cool stuff. They are from the same area I grew'up and live in Calif. We also met Rob and Ann and there cat Chloe and there friends Willie and Linda. And lots of others people from all over the country.

1-1-2012

We are at our next stop in Texas

12-12

Well we left Lake Conroe this morning and headed south to Colorado River park, We stopped at Camping World in Katy Texas to pick up some things. It is a very large store and was nice to check out.  Then to Columbus Texas where Colorado River Park is. Got all set up and took Bristol out for a short walk. He seems to like it here much more than the other place. There are lots of deer running around this park. So far we like it here as the park is easy to get around on foot. It is a smaller park but nice all the came.
12-15
Been having a nice time here. weather has been Ok. Nights are cool and the days have been cloudy and some rain. but today it was up to 80+ and sun most of the day. But it is cloudy right now and no rain so far.  Guess we should not complain as they really need rain here. Every thing is dead or dieing due to the lack of rain. The Colorado River (Texas had to have their's too) is down some what. been out walking allot and have taken the pedal bike out but not the Harley. Been to the store and out to lunch twice in Columbus. They have a Whataburger here and it is good. It is nice to just relax and not have to do any thing at a certain time. We will just hang out here and on Monday we will leave for Medina Lake (our next stop) down by San Antonio for the holidays.

Arived at our next stop

12-6
We Left Lake Whitney yesterday and arrived at Lake Conroe in Willis TX. It was a wet drive with drizzle most of the way. Got set up OK and took a look around the park. Today it is cool at only 50 for a high but no rain. We are going to town to do some shopping and stuff. Should be warming up here on Thursday. Went to Willis and picked up mail and then to Conroe and went shopping. Wow almost didnt have room in the truck for all the stuff Gloria got.
12-9
Haven't been doing much as the weather has been cold. Hell haven't even taken the bike off the truck. We have been to the family center several time as Gloria wanted to do crafts with others. We have been for a walk or two and I have rode my little bike around the park. Went down to the boat dock but it is out of the water so far no one can use it. Guess the lake is down some 30 feet right now.Staff here is real friendly and so are most of the people staying here. wanted to wash the truck and trailer as they got real dirty getting here in the rain. But seeing as they are in a water shortage guess that will have to happen later. Today we are going to dinner with Gloria's ex daughter in law down in Conroe at the Cracker Barrel.

Second stop in Texas

We arrived at our second stop today 11-28. We are at Lake Whitney Texas another Thousand Trails Park just outside Whitney Texas. This place is Big at over 400 acres and some 300 sites. We are in a nice spot whit trees all around. Verizon works in loop D good and in Loop B also but not as good. We will add more as the week goes on.
11-29
 I like this park but again not much to do outside the park. We have been to town to shop for food and will go see some of the sites today. Went down to the lake yesterday and it is ok but real low. Also took the bike and ran around the park as it is too big to walk it all. We even played a game of mini golf and I beat Gloria by one hole. Will post some pic's soon.
12-2

We took the bike for a ride around the area. Went to the Dam at Lake Whitney and took some pic's. Not much more to see around here. We have seen deer and a Road Runner but that is it. Yesterday we set up our Christmas tree and stockings. Hmmmm don't think Santa will find us but you never know. So far Bristol has left it alone but only time will tell. Had to work on the bike as it had no power to the ignition switch. Tracked down a bad relay and luck for me I had one. So it is running again! It is raining right now and only 52 degrees but guess it is better than snow and cold like they are getting back home. Guess it will be like this till we leave on Monday.

We are in Texas

Well we finally made it to our first long stop. We are at Lake Texoma Thousand Trailes Park in Texas.

Was a nice drive down here and the weather was good but cold. Now that we are here it is raining like cats and dogs. Should get better tomorrow. So far we like the park as the sites are large and have full hookups. Checked out the Family Center and it was real nice and even has a cafe. Will add more when we have more to say.

11-24

Happy Thanksgiving. Well Gloria is going to cook up a Turkey Breast and all the other stuff and we will be eating around 1. So if you are around just stop by and have some. It is nice around here but not much to do. We went to Gainsville yesterday to go to the Zoo but we were too late. Found out they close a 4PM so just went to Wal Mart and picked up some things. We also picked up 2 Fold up Bikes from some people from Canada for a real good price. Wow trying to ride a bike without a motor is hard. I have not been on one in longer than I can remember. But I am doing ok. Gloria needs some work on the leg muscles but is doing good too. Sure glad this park is mostly flat. Have not taken any Pictures as of yet so dont look for any. Will try to get some of the area but not much to see.

11-19-2011 Well we are in Assaria KS just outside Salina in Lakeside RV Park. We drove about 300 miles today and head south tomorrow for 200 miles to Oklahoma. This Park is real nice I would bet in the summer but right now it is cold out (35) and cloudy.
