Odometer: 1083 miles. Today: 127 miles. A tame American Robin helped bring in the chilly morning. After we moaned a bit about the cold, we remembered we could put on some heating! Our campground was perfectly located near the trailhead for our morning jaunt into the wilderness. The Wilderness brings a special type of solitude,Continue reading “Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 5: Wilderness”

Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 4: Hiking
Odometer: 956 miles. Today: 113 miles. The Evening Primrose next to Arvan at the trailhead for our morning’s walk was a good sign for the morning’s hike. With the sun barely over the tops of the surrounding mountains, we headed out on our five mile loop of the Borrego and Windsor trails. The well-graded surfaceContinue reading “Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 4: Hiking”
Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 3: Forest
Trip odometer: 843 miles. Today: 223 miles. This trip is a long meander, allowing us to enjoy the slow days. Today wasn’t planned to be slow, but that’s OK, and part of the beauty.

HighlightsContinue reading “Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 2: Alpacas”
Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 1: Honey
Trip odometer: 156 miles Highway 99 marks the edge of Houston’s urban craziness. As soon as we passed under it today, the driving was less stressful and the scenery turned green. Hooray to be leaving Houston! As the traffic thinned, the flat road started gently undulating as we approached the Texas Hill Country. We arrivedContinue reading “Summer ‘26 Trek: Day 1: Honey”

We both love the outdoors and our nomadic tendencies have dissolved any interest in a conventional second home. Our first campout together was after just threeContinue reading “We Own a Campervan!”
