Drive hiking West to East



 
Hi Ya’ll, It’s Friday, April 16th.  We pulled our kayaks out of the Rio Grande and stayed at Cottonwood campground.. it was incredibly HOT... Getting some grandma practice a little baby girl Couldn’t get comfortable and cried most of the night 🥲

John trying to fall into Tuft Canyon.

It’s only seven in the morning it was so cool and beautiful...I’m actually starting to be one of those rock formation people.

Burro Mesa Pouroff... John laid on the ground and took this picture, good thing there was no water running now!


Hiking to the Mule ears well at least to the viewpoint!  We are driving from the west side of big Bend national Park over to the East side and stopping at all of the turnouts and viewpoints and short hikes, one mile and under.

Just so you know... I am here too!


Panther Junction visitor center, All the visitor centers are outside.  Masks required in the campground store only five people allowed at a time.  It is our finding that Texas is very cautious those are vicious rumors about their lack of concern with Covid.

There’s a terrible fire in the middle of the park at Chisos basin.  The whole area is closed.  

Leaving the Visitors Center and heading down to Rio grande Village to our campsite,

Here is our campsite number 19 no generator zone!!!! The wind is picking up!!! Got to make this quick... signing off to attend Leah and Keith’s wedding! Congratulations Sitler family💕

Does it really matter

 Really, I am not going to change it or try and fix it, that would require sending another link and confusing everyone especially me!  So the name of the Blog was suppose to be “Heads Carolina, tails California and then you have a title for each post.  Well I wondered where the “one mile at a time aka you never know when you’ll breakdown”came from.  Apparently I opened up an existing blog and just added to it,  well, that title could be any of our trips so it is staying!  Now I am really going to bed, we plan on leaving around 8 am tomorrow Monday March 9.  I downloaded the APP so I hope that helps, I see I am having difficulty with picture placement…by the end of August I should have it down! We did it, we left at 8:30, no wind, a little rain on the 8 and smooth sailing into Yuma for our $3.49 gas (high for AZ) Buddy is well taken care of by neighbor Bill and the various other dogs than run in our hood.   Our entertainment included our book “The ...

​where to start…  Gas buddy directed us to a gas station in Abilene, Texas that was $3.15 a gallon just off the freeway and there was a Walmart perfect! We need yogurt creamer, and M&Ms💕 it all seemed perfect, especially when we saw the Brahms ice cream store over the hood of this guy‘s truck,(for those of you not familiar with Brahms ice cream, It is the best but it’s only in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and may be a handful of othet state states.) then we noticed the sign that they were out of unleaded gas🥲 we went in anyways and got our three items in a store that we don’t think anyone looked happy glad to be out and over to Brahms John got a sundae I didn’t feel like ice cream I got a fry. It was OK. GasBuddy leads us to another gas station for $3.49 it was supposed to be $3.19 and everywhere else in Abilene is 3.19. we’re in a motorhome at 7 miles a gallon a few blocks we find the $3.15  gas, perfect! Back on the road on the 20 east and a new book we finished the widow a...
