On the Road Again


Three days of hard driving found us safe and sound in San Antonio. We found our RV just as we had left it (which meant we needed an RV repair man because our slideout wasn't working!). All that aside, by Friday we were ready to roll and headed west to the little town of Del Rio, Texas.



Of course, Jim has jumped right back into the Texan swing of things, with his "little" 32 oz bottle of beer!







On Sunday we took a drive to Brackettville, the site of the shooting of the JohnWayne movie, The Alamo. In fact, this "town" has been used to shoot upwards of 60 different movies since it was constructed in 1957-59, including Lonesome Dove, Jericho, The Bullfighter and The Gambler to name just a few.


In front of the Alamo....


The town.......


and Main Street

Jim and I even managed to wet our whistle at the local cantina...


That's all for now. Tomorrow it's off to Alpine, Tx, enroute to El Paso and New Mexico. Perhaps there's a round of golf in our future........

I enjoy following you travels. I have been following you since you were at the Johnnie High Show in Arlington. I work there every now and then running house sound. I used to do it all the time, but now I just fill in when they need me. If you go to New Mexico, you need to go to Ruidoso, you will love it. It's up in the mountains.

Hi guys
Just came inside after watching Courtney shovel off your driveway. I'm glad we live on the sunny side of the street! We're still busy driving back and forth to hockey. We thought about you while we were watching the Super Bowl. How's the satellite working? We ate a few extra chips for you.
