2011 Travel

February 20-21, 2012: Since I was unable to get us a spot at the state campgrounds for this one night, we rented a spot at a private resort. Our spot at Susnshine Key RV Resort was not very attractive. As a matter of fact, I forgot to document our site. They do have some wonderful…

January 16 - 18, 2012: The Blazing Star RV Resort is a Woodall's 5W campground. It is very well kept and has a brand new office and pool area. We hadn't planned on staying for more than one night and we arrived late so we just grabbed the first spot that was open. It was…

Saturday,December 10th-Tuesday,December 13th: We needed somewhere to stay after Darren was done shooting grads on Saturday and since we were unable to find anything acceptable in El Paso we drove to Las Cruces.

December 9, 2011: This was a quick overnighter on our way from Austin to El Paso. There are many campgrounds dotted along I-10, a few of which are in and around Fort Stockton. We drove all around the town to check out no less than four of these campgrounds and decided that Fort Stockton RV…

These pictures are more about driving around Austin than driving to Fort Stockton. Before we hit the road on our way to El Paso, we checked out Austin a bit. There is another campground there I wanted to investigate. We drove through Pine Grove RV Resort, with the idea that we might stay there, the…

Tuesday, December 6 - Thursday, December 8: Originally we had planned to stay in Austin for a much longer period of time. But the best laid plans... When we couldn't find a place to stop in Dallas we made a knee jerk reaction and decided to drive through to Austin. Well, we didn't have a…
