We stopped in Winslow Arizona so we could say we were “standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, like in the song by the Eagles, “Take it Easy”. I bought a couple of sew-on patches to commemorate the event and Karen found some Route 66 salt and pepper shakers and a cute little MP3 player…
The temperature was in the 90s, a far cry from the 15º we experienced just two weeks earlier at this same Harvest Host location. We started up the generator so we could have air-conditioning. Then we went into the back area bar of Sierra Blanca, twice, once when we first got there and once later…
Route 66 ToGo, was the first place we stayed at after leaving Melissa and Marks. It was a Harvest Host location. It was 100° there when we arrived. So we set up the generator to stay cool with air conditioning. When the sun went down it quickly cooled down to a comfortable temperature. After a…
We left our temp home at Melissa & Mark’s garage property on 3/18, headed for Silver Dollar City Amusement Park. Melissa, Mark and the grandkids met us there for two nights of camping. When we arrived we found out that an RV was broken down in Melissa and Mark’s spot, site # 1. So we…
We arrived at Melissa & Mark’s on March 10th. It was a beautiful 80º day. Melissa and Mark met us at the Garage property and we quickly got set up. Then we went over to their house and were amazed at the renovation they completed at the Carriage House. It’s the cutest little apartment with…
We spent one night at Rustic Meadows RV Park in Strafford, Missouri. It was reasonably priced, right off of HWY 44, and close to Melissa and Mark’s. We got completely set up in about 45 minutes, including water, sewer, electrical and Starlink. We were able to dump our tanks and fill up our water before…
We stayed one night at the Stafford and Space Museum, a Harvest Host location. The weather was great, windy, but 80º and sunny. We arrived at 4:30pm after losing two hours, one to daylight savings time, the other to crossing into the central time zone at the Texas border. They let me go through the…
After five weeks in Arizona, we departed Apache Junction and drove 440 miles to Moriarty, NM, just east of Albuquerque. We stayed at a Harvest Host location, the Sierra Blanco Brewing Company. After we parked and got set up, we walked the short distance to the brewery. I had a beer and Karen had a…
We flew back down to Arizona on February 1, left Paine field in 43° rain and arrived in Phoenix to 80° sunshine. We stayed overnight at Bernie and Ellen’s one night and picked up our truck and trailer on Monday. They had been safely stowed at a CubeSmart self storage facility. While in Arizona, we…
On November 16, 2025, we began the last leg of our journey from Texas to Arizona where we spent the last week of our trip at Ellen & Bernie’s. They’ve always been so gracious in sharing their home with us when we are in town. While we were there we made some more good memories.…
