My ultimate goal is to make this short and enjoyable and maybe even learn something new along the way.

i'm internet bound so be patient, I'm only using my regular ATT so limited at times.

I will list each campground and any highlights during the visit.  Check out the Travel Notes page as well as the other pages if you're really bored.

6/12/26. Hit the 1000 mile mark, not making any speed records but that's not the point .  The point is to enjoy the journey and not just rush to the next thing or Zoom whatever.

I've used my free birding app, (they said in retirement class I had to bird) Merlin by Cornell Labs, in most places just for fun to see if any cool birds. I remembered the guy who told me about the app back home and its calling feature but that it confuses the birds so they now give a free tiny couch with each app to counsel the birds when they're confused about what's calling them lol.

6/19/26. Just arrived in Texas, first stop Eisenhower State Park,  Ike's birthplace and visit Mike Smith both equally as important.  Next, San Antonio to hang with Autumn wahooo! Last stop, Big Bend National Park then on to Dog Canyon Campground, New Mexico.

June was spectacular.  I'm ending it with a hotel stay in Roswell, NM for a shower a cool room, do laundry and get an oil change not to mention visit some aliens.

On my way to Arizona and visit with Ali then on to Sedona and the Grand Canyon and spend a bunch of time in Utah.
