We decided it was time to replace the curtains in our CI. We live in what once a textile hub and there still is some textiles here. One place is warehouse that opens one weekend a month to the public. This was the weekend since last weekend had the 4th on Friday. They have just about any type of...

Sanford-Yake Campground is located in the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area about 30 miles north of Amarillo, TX near Fritch, TX. There are 10 sites with water and electricity. To reserve these you call the marina (See the NPS link below for the number). This is a concessionaire run...

We camped here for a night on our way back from New Mexico. Not far from I-40 and it is on the Foss Reservoir. Had Site 1. Not a great site for summer as there was little shade, but we there late enough in the day it was not a big deal for us. Really nice bathroom and shower facilities...

Did not camp here, but went through the campground to get to the trail head for the Columbine Trail. Very shady and nice looking. Paved sites. Pit toilets. Water in the campground but not at each site. Close to both Questa and Red River, NM. Some sites reservable. Great trail at the back...

Located on Cochiti Lake. We were on the Buffalo Grove Loop which appeared to be pretty new looking at the facilities. We were on site 63. This loop is on a hill so the farther from the Bathhouse you are the more up hill you are too. Paved sites with covered, concrete picnic table. grill and...

Camped one night at Gulpha Gorge campground in Hot Springs National Park. We were in site 44 which backed up to creek and was at a spot where the water tumbled a few feet over some rocks across the creek. The sound of the water was great. This site is next to one of the bathrooms, but it does...

On our recent trip to New Mexico, we crossed 25,000 Miles and stand at 25,783 right now. We also made it to 200 nights and are currently at 205 nights spent sleeping in our 560 Ultra. It took us a little over 10 years to get here as we picked #720 on March 31, 2015. In these 25K miles we have...

Taking off early tomorrow for a couple of weeks on the road. Headed out for a few nights in Santa Fe & then Red River, NM. Looking forward to some cooler temps especially in Red River. Little Rock area will be our first stop at Maumelle Campground along the Arkansas River. Second night we’ll be...

Camped for a few nights close to the house at Coneross Campground (see campground write up I did in the campground reviews) to make sure we had everything in working order with Jeremiah & us before we head to New Mexico in a few weeks. Of course you clicked to see what the woman was doing in the...

Got our trip planned to New Mexico in a few weeks. Stopping near Litttle Rock on the first day to camp at Maumelle park along the Arkansas River. Next night we’ll be at Sanford-Yake Campground on Lake Meredith near Amarillo, TX. Then a few nights near Santa Fe before heading up to Red River...

We camped again, finally. Got in a weekend at nearby Oconee State Park which is a favorite of ours. When I went back into coaching, it curtailed our camping the last couple of years. In the middle of track season right now, but we have spring break this week so we got in a few days in the...

Anyone have camped or stayed in the Red River, NM area? We are looking at going there the first week in July. There is a musician we like there at the Motherlode Saloon that week. And we like New Mexico.

Went out last week for 3 nights in our new tow vehicle, 2024 Outback Wilderness. Did great and went close to home partly try it out on a short trip. Also, my .Cross Country team has summer workouts and I needed to be close to them. This was the final trip for the tires on Jeremiah. We got new...

It turns out if you don’t close the drain plug on a cooler it will leak a lot of water. Yep we drained the water from the cooler and threw in a new bag of ice in our cooler we had drinks in. Put it back in the tow vehicle and when we went to pack up this morning we discovered there was water in...

This happened at a campground near us recently. A bear swam up at someone’s campsite in Twin Lakes Campground on Lake Hartwell. The campground is surrounded by Clemson University’s Experimental Forest and some other land used for agricultural research. Bears used to rarely be this far from the...

We were up already getting breakfast ready on a quiet morning when the stillness of the morning was broken at 6:22 am by a circular saw at the campsite across the ravine. If you read yesterday about the squirrel people, you might have guessed it was the same people and you are correct. Everyone...

Currently camping and the dog kept wanting to go down the ravine behind our site. On the other side is another loop in the state park we are camping in. I could hear something running around in the leaves on the ground & finally saw it was 2 squirrels fighting over something. Looked like some...
