Austin, Texas
We stayed two nights at a beautiful KOA camp 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Amazing to be so close to downtown, yet you we were out in the country. In fact, there were some massive Texas Long-horn steers in the field next to the campground. This KOA was pretty new, had full hookups, a friendly…

We arrived at mid-day on a Thursday, 105 degrees, unloaded the trailer and jumped in the pool. Then we got ready for dinner, one of those Asian restaurants, like Benihana’s, where they put on a show and cook in front of you. There were 13 of us, with Leonard’s family and friends in town for…

In out first outing with Cooper we traveled to 9 Mile, just north of Spokane, WA. Don and Ann hosted us on their family property. Cooper kept us warm during this unseasonably cool spring. We woke up to 38 degrees on Saturday and I don’t think it ever got above 55 degrees. Don and I…

We got another early start, about 6:30 am, heading over the Siskiyous Pass while the weather was still favorable. High temps were suppose to be in the 60s and lows above freezing with a slim chance of precip. Snow was in the forecast the next night, so we didn’t want to dally. In fact, our…
