It was a pretty windy drive from Oklahoma to Texas. We stayed at a KOA camp in Amarillo. It was blowing about 40 mph when we arrived and really didn’t let up much the whole time. The campground was sandwiched between train tracks and the airport, but the wind was howling so much, you couldn’t…

We left Melissa and Mark’s farm with heavy hearts and headed west towards Oklahoma. We had a quick overnight stay at a Harvest Host location called the Equine Ranch. It was quiet and a great place to spend the night. Off to Texas!

On our way to Palm Springs, we drove by the Borax plant and 20 Mule Team Drive. We had seen it a couple of times before, but for some reason it takes me back to my youth when we used to see the Borax commercials on TV. We stayed one night at the Palm Springs…

On our way from Carmel to Arizona, we stayed one night at the Orange Grove RV Park & Resort in Bakersfield. It had a decent pool, that we used for a couple of hours to cool down our core temperature. It was in the upper 90’s. We had a nice dinner outside at the picnic…

It was our first trip to Carmel, and we loved it! What a quaint little town. No two houses were the same. Most of them were small bungalows full of character. Even the roofs were unique. We stayed at Carmel by the River RV Park. It was a one lane road for the last several…
