New Mexico

December 15, 2023 / / 0 Comments

After Austin, we left for a week in New Mexico in “Dark Sky” country. We planned to stay 3 nights at Rusty’s RV Ranch, but enjoyed the peace and quiet so much, we stayed a full week.

Rusty’s is in the high desert at 4,000 feet. On clear nights, the skies are black, and the stars are amazing. We were nestled in a valley between mountain ranges. Rusty’s has a bunch of animals they take care of including a pair of black swans, porcupines, goats and lots of birds.

This place is in the middle of nowhere (which was great). We enjoyed Sky Islands Grill & Grocery. This was our go to place for dinner. We enjoyed their chili, pizza, soup and baked goods.

We hiked the South Fork Trail #243 which is a 4.1 mile out and back hike in the mountains. Beautiful hike with lots of birds for Pam to identify.

Pam visited the Chiricahua Desert Museum where they had lots of snakes and desert gardens.

960 Brave Drive – Update

December 9, 2023 / / 6 Comments

We are committed to start construction on our new home in the spring. We have the design out for bids to various contractors and are finalizing the “Special Use” permit with the county. Our plan is to be back in Wisconsin April and spend the entire summer until the house is complete.

Here is a video of the lot where the seller of the land and the architect of our future home staked out the house and gives a nice tour.

Austin, Texas

December 8, 2023 / / 1 Comment

After Florida, we traveled to Austin, Texas for 5 days and met up with Terry and Kirk. We stayed at the Austin Lone Star RV Resort. The resort was quite nice, but it is very hectic with traffic and tons of people.

We walked to the Fast Friends Brewery the first night. Had Dinner at Cooper’s Old-time BBQ in downtown Austin, which was great.

We walked the “Trail of Lights” and really enjoyed ourselves. Overall, a really nice time in Austin.

Florida Pan Handle

November 16, 2023 / / 2 Comments

In late November, we spent 3 weeks in the pan handle of Florida. We spent the first 2 weeks at Coastline RV Resort in Eastpoint Florida. One of the best run and maintained RV Resorts we have ever been to. They have East and West Parks which are sperated by another property. We played pickleball almost everyday and enjoyed the fitness room. Their showers are outstanding and the people were just great. We stayed in site 26.

The next week, we spend on the ocean at Camping on the Gulf in Miramar Beach, Florida. They have RV sites on the beach; we stayed in the second row. Unfortunately, the weather was not great and we were only able to take a few walks on the pristine white sand beach. The sites by the ocean are very tight but we had good neighbors.

We are now in Austin, Texas for a week before starting to make our way to Arizonia for Christmas; we will be there for 3 months.

Alabama

In early November, we spent 9 days at the Rainbow Plantation Escapees Park in Sundale, Alabama. A simple, low-cost park with not a lot of amenities. We played golf at Gulf Links Golf Course and One Club Gulf Shores but pretty much just relaxed.

We drove up to Mobile, to visit Battleship Memorial Park where the battleship USS Alabama is on display. What an amazing ship and a really good self-guided tour. It is amazing to think of the life sailors lived on this ship in WWII. We also toured the USS Drum a World War II Gato-class submarine.
