This will be a quick post as it’s difficult to write as we are driving. Between the sometimes bumpy road and wicked wind, I feel like I’m going off the rails. We are traveling the Ports to Plains Corridor and heading to Amarillo, TX for the night. The scenery rolls from mountains to plains as…

Time to Fly Away
Our travels take us many places. There is a general direction and, at times, a purpose. The first week of travel is usually made up of one nighters, Walmarts, rest areas, and travel centers. Storms sent us directions we hadn’t really planned on. It’s better safe than on course. Time to Fly Away. This year,…
Cheeseburger in New Mexico Paradise
Every day, all day, our 15 year old son asks, “What’s for dinner?” Grant it, it gets annoying, but we think it’s his way of saying, “I love you.” At least I hope that’s what it means. Eating while traveling can be difficult or fun. For us, it’s part of the draw. It’s the challenge,…

Off again

Toaster House Pie Town NM
Toaster House. Pie Town, NM. This was just a few yards down from where we stayed. This house is like a hostel for bike riders. It’s a simple house that has a few places for them to sleep, rest, shower and eat. Fridge seems to always be stocked with simple foods. Watched a YouTube video…
