We’re waiting for Siskiyou Pass to clear…
WAITING ON THE WEATHER. Traveling north on Interstate 5 to reach Oregon requires traversing the Siskiyou Pass and its 4,300 foot elevation at the summit. We’ve driven this route a half dozen times during the summer and enjoyed the scenery and the drive.

MARCH 8, 2015 LET ME INTRODUCE THE BIRTHDAY BOY. One of the nicest things about our stay at Buckhorn Lake this winter has been meeting and getting to know our “casita-neighbors” Paul Lozano and his wife JoAnn.

JANUARY 25, 2015 SUNDAY BRUNCH AND A MOVIE. Our Buckhorn friends have brunch most every Sunday at the cafeteria on the nearby campus of Schreiner University.

Cold weather in Kerrville…
KERRVILLE, TEXAS NOVEMBER 15, 2014. IT’S COLD IN KERRVILLE! I’m glad we left Wyoming, pushed through Colorado and headed to Texas when we did.

OCTOBER 24, 2014 There is something very relaxing about this part of the world. It feels good to slow down and settle down. Before our arrival, we’d been on the road for about 15 months, moving from place to place every few days or few weeks. So, it’s time for us to take a break … Continue reading
