Today was catch up and recovery day. We have been traveling a lot in the last 16 days. Starting off in New Orleans for Jack’s 16th birthday on New Year’s Eve, we went through Lafayette, LA, Lake Livingston in Onalaska, TX, Choke Canyon, TX, Rough Canyon, TX, Big Bend National Park in Terlingua, TX and now Carlsbad, NM. Combined, we’ve traveled 1,448 miles and are currently at our 8th RV park in 16 days. This does not represent our intended pace of travel, but sometimes we get to a place and don’t see value in staying for more than a day. With the full-time traveling lifestyle, flexibility is key.
Today, I spent time planning the next leg of our trip and researching the weather and availability of different places. Thelma the RV is 18 years old and can’t withstand sustained freezing temperatures. After my research, we have decided to head to Tucson, AZ next.
It was quite a chilly day and we all spent the majority of it inside with Jana catching up on the blog and Jack and Ellie doing schoolwork. Jana is adamant about getting everyone off the bus and outside every day, so today we decided to take the dogs for a longer walk through the desert near the campground.
It was nearing sunset and it was frigid, but there was magic in the air nonetheless.
We ordered BBQ takeout from the campground kitchen again because we enjoyed it so much last night. The staff here is very friendly and we like to support their business.
Combined, we’ve traveled 1,448 miles and are currently at our 8th RV park in 16 days.
