After so many years living in, and then visiting, Texas, we finally made it to Palo Duro Canyon State Parkย on April 15th, in the Panhandle Plains just southeast of Amarillo.
RV Travel
Great places and adventures with KokoMoto
A ride in the Hill Country
Those of you who have been around here a while know that most of our adventures that involve riding, also involve internal combustion engines. Well, prepare to be amazed! ๐
Finally made it to Shiner!
I have been a Shiner Beer fan for 30+ years, back to when I lived in San Antonio and was introduced to Shiner Bock.ย In addition to living in San Antonio for 10 years, we have visited Texas countless times since we moved to Georgia in 1995, but it was never convenient (or a priority, I guess) to make the pilgrimage to the small town of Shiner.
Moto-blogger Meet-up
We interrupt the long silence in reporting our Southwest trip to report a really fun meeting with another Moto Blogger that happened after only a week’s notice!
El Malpais National Monument
So, when we left Santa Fe ten days ago, we were driving along on I-40 toward Gallup, New Mexico and started seeing what looked like volcanic material. Hmmmm.
A chance encounter
After our day exploringย Bandelier National Monument,ย we retreated to the Plaza in Santa Fe for refreshment and nourishment. We found both, and a wonderful view of the Plaza, on the balcony at theย Thunderbird Bar and Grill.
Bandelier National Monument
Whew, this past week has been a reminder of a few realities of our brand of RV/motorcycle travel: there is never enough time to see everything, do everything, share the things that you have seen and done, or adequate internet access. ๐
One week ago, we were in lovely Santa Fe, at an even more lovely RV park, Santa Fe Skies, that I wrote aboutย here. My last post covered a wonderfulย Day in Taos, and next on our list was a monument that we missed the last trip to the area,ย Bandelier National Monument. Bandelier is about an hours drive from Santa Fe, in White Rock near Los Alamos National Laboratory, and it is a remarkably well-preserved example of an Ancestral Puebloan community thought to have been occupied from the mid-1200s to mid-1500s.
Santa Fe Skies RV Park
If ever there was an appropriately named RV park, this is It! I don’t normally write a post solely about an RV park, and this is one of those that you really want to keep to yourself, but it was so special, I decided to share it anyway.
Carlsbad Caverns
Ok, I will admit it. Even though we planned to come visit the Caverns from the beginning of our trip planning, I thought it might be just a big tourist trap. Au contraire, my friends!
Sights around Carlsbad
Carlsbad Cavernsย is SO amazing that it deserves its own post, and I still may have too many photos for one post. ๐ But, there is so much cool stuff in the area that I wanted to share this first…
