So for those of you wondering how we can be in Texas this long, I’ll explain.  We were originally going to take I-40 across, but after the terrible experience with the mountains, and given how late of a start we got, we decided to head super south and take I-30 to I-20 to I-10 across…Continue reading “Yet again in Texas 11/23/21”

We are still here… in Texas. And probably will be all day tomorrow,  too. We are at the point where we are at the very edge of desert so we are enjoying being parked next to this lone tree in Walmart tonight. Tomorrow the terrain will finally change! We all took showers at the campgroundContinue reading “Texas is BIG!!!! 11/22/21”

We decided to splurge! We are at a state park in Texas tonight. We figured for $28 a quiet place in the trees with showers, electric, water, and a place to dump was more than worth it!! Checkout isn’t till noon so we plan to make breakfast and lunch here before we head out. WeContinue reading “First night in a state park 11/21/21”

I tried to upload this as a story post, but it didn’t work. So here’s an attempt at posting the pictures here.

We had intended on leaving Jeff’s Grandma’s at 11 am today so we could get to Lehman’s in Ohio, but when we tried to start the bus, it wouldn’t turn over. We hoped it was just because it was cold, so we plugged in the engine block heater, took a walk, and tried again toContinue reading “And we are out!!”

Thursday morning we pulled away from our cozy spot at a good friend’s house, ran a bunch of last-minute errands, then jumped on the road. At some point (the day quickly became blur) I (Sarah who was driving) started to smell coolant and Braydon found some “smoke” which we quickly discovered was a pinhole inContinue reading “And so it begins…!”
