Our quick trip into Tucson for Sprinter service turned into two days when they had to get parts shipped in. Rather than waiting at the dealership, we had the courtesy car take us 3 miles down the road to the...

We turned a four hour drive into one nearly twice as long. Rather than take I-10 from El Paso to Benson we chose to follow Route 9 and then 80 through New Mexico and into Arizona. This route took us along the...

We moved to El Paso to do a little housekeeping — laundry at the Supreme laundromat and shopping for Super Bowl snacks at the Vista Central Market. Finally we have warm weather. I’ll probably be sorry I...

It was really cold this morning — 27-degrees — so we were a bit slow to get started on a hike. Around eleven we headed to the Frijoles Ranch and took the Smith Springs Trail. The ranch was the home of the...

While this park has spectacular views of the canyon from the rim, the public is not permitted to enter the canyon without a guide. There are too many 4000 year cave paintings and other relics. We spent part...

After a stop at a HEB grocery for some much needed supplies, we drove about 200 miles — San Antonio to Del Rio. The drive west and south took us through part of the Texas “hill country.” Lovely area, but not...
