Think this is a good size for Halloween?

No place like home




We arrived home yesterday afternoon from our motor home trip. We saw a lot of cool things in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and even a little of Oklahoma. We were glad when we saw the sand dunes and wind mills near El Centro welcoming us home to California.

Tucson






We spent the last few days of our trip in the Tucson area. Yesterday we visited Old Tucson which is a western movie lot that was used for hundreds of movies and tv shows until the 1980's. It is like an old ghost town. Today we took a tour of the Biosphere. It is really something to see. There is a real rain forest in there, a beach, a desert, plants, animals, machinery, living quarters and everything necessary to allow eight people to be completely self sufficient, sealed up for two and a half years.

Oct. 20- On the Road Again


After spending 5 days with Steve and Sudi we on our way to our next adventure-Biosphere 2 in Arizona. It is mostly flat boring land between Benbrook and the Biosphere, not much to see. We did run into a little lightning and thunderstorm today entering Deming, New Mexico. Tomorrow we will reach Tuson and spend a few days seeing Old Tuson and the Biosphere.

Vegan food in Benbrook

Today Steve, Sudi, Cindy and I went to a little country fair in Benbrook. It was free. Then we went to the only vegan restaurant in this area called the Spiro Diner and bakery. The food was pretty good but the service was slowww. Then we went to our motorhome and played some games where it's camped at Benbrook Lake. We cooked a nice vegan dinner that was better than the restaurant!

Texas State Fair






Sudi and Steve took us to the Texas State Fair in Dallas today. We ate some healthy food. There sure was a lot of deep fried food; even deep fried latte.

Amarillo



We are about 450 miles away from our final destination. We will arrive in Benbrook tomorrow.
Tonight we are spending the night in a Love's truck stop just outside of Amarillo, Texas. It was getting really foggy when we got to Amarillo. We had dinner at the Subway here. Trucks pass 15 feet away from our side window one after the other. Oh well, we save 30 bucks from not having to stay at a campground. When Cindy is driving I enjoy listening to podcasts.
