Southbound

Carson National Forest from Forest Service Road 103

The Leo's are getting ready to hit the road again. After a pleasant summer of new friends, good fishing, bueatiful scenery and great weather, it's time to head South.

The leaves have turned and the weather is getting cooler. For the last week we have had nightly temperatures in the mid-20s, with daytime warm-up into the 60's.  But that won't last much longer. It will soon be the beginning of winter here in the mountains, so Southbound we go!!

Over the next three weeks we will be wandering our way to the sands of Port Aransas, Texas.

The first leg of our wander will be a three day run from our summer camp in southern Colorado to Midlothian, Texas. Along the way we will be making a stop in Santa Fe, New Mexico to get new tires on the HitchHiker. Then we will overnight in Tucumcari, NM (boondocking at Flying J) and then an overnight at the Old Town Cotton Gin Park in Goodlett, Texas.

We plan to spend a week in Midlothian to visit with Doug and family in their new home, catch-up on movies that are now in theaters and catching the Farmer's Branch Bluegrass Festival.

Then it's on to Austin for a few days with Kim and family and Maggie and Jonas. We'll be there in time to celebrate Maggie's birthday.

After Austin, we'll make a brief stop in New Braunfels to visit The Trusty Companion's vet to renew his prescription for allergy pills. This is important, because the pills have been working. We made it all summer without Leo chewing out large chunks of  his coat. His coat is now the longest it has been since we've been partners and he's well equipped for winter.

Then it's on to the On The Beach RV Park in Port Aransas for four weeks of Toes in the Sand.

After staying in one location for five months, it will feel great to be On The Road Again!
