An adventure through the states
After spending the night stargazing we rose ready to leave Texas, after one last stop. Today would roughly be a 280 mile, four hour drive to our next stop, taking in plenty of sites in the meantime. Leaving Fort Davis behind we made our way along up and down various mountain elevations. It was quite and …
Due to having no WiFi or anything in the mountain area we had to walk in and book accommodation, which is hideously expensive, especially as we needed two nights. However being in the town about 3/4 of thge way up the mountain (approximately 5000 ft) does give way to fantastic views! Fort Davis is the …
Arriving as we did in the western side of Texas yesterday, you notice how it is kind of similar to Oklahoma. Unsurprisingly there is a lot more farm land around this side than the touristy eastern side. However alongside the greenery and brown hues of the surrounding fields are patches of land that are a …
We woke in our little cabin at Lake Murray, Oklahoma. It’s been peaceful here, the parks seem to get it just right. There are lots of families enjoying the outdoors but it doesn’t feel packed and it’s not loud, it’s perfect. Today we have another enormous driving task ahead of us, Texas has shown us …
Good morning from Waco TX! Last night we crashed just outside of Austin in a town called Waco, we had a very spacious room and ordered pizza yummy! Today’s ambitious plan was to head to Fort Worth and then onto Dallas After eventually arriving at Fort Worth, we found it was somewhat like going back …
Today the Journey continued towards the north of Texas. Leading on from San Antonio, we headed to Austin for our city drive through. After having sometime to drive the truck Ben has commented on it, he really enjoys driving it. We noticed on the Crysler that the cruise control wasn’t especially great as it would …
We didn’t make our target destination yesterday due to a combination of the heat and the increased milage it takes to get around Texas. We were pleased to have stayed at Lake Lavaca, even though it was not a planned stop! It was a very clean motel room. This morning we covered the remainder of …
Waking in Houston Texas we find its 27c (80f) it’s boiling! We are both feeling a bit tired and a little less sparkly than on previous days. Whilst we are having the time of our lives, it can be a weary job staying somewhere new every night and we do miss our families. After checking out …
After last nights stay in lafyette Louisiana, we headed off towards our next state; Texas! I was extremely excited about the prospect of arriving here and our first stop would be Houston. On first impressions it doesn’t look how I expected, by that I mean that so far there’s no desert! I know it may sound …
Day 35 Waking this morning we found that our shoes still hadn’t dried out, despite the storm still raging on we had to head out in our summer shoes, needless to say people stared more than usual at us! We headed south into Louisiana but it was exceptionally hard to drive you couldn’t see the …
Day 33 After another restful night in Mississippi we headed off today towards Arkansas. There were a lot of fields on the way into the towns where it quickly turned very pretty, quite grand houses not the typical American build surrounded by red trees. It was cooler today and overcast, and we stayed in a city …
Tucking down in bed last night neither of us could believe how silent and dark it was in the cabin! Definitely a far cry away from anywhere we’ve ever stayed before. We both had a mighty peaceful sleep! Little did we know we’d need it 🙂 Today was a bright sunny day perfect for a …
