Cactus Point
I was moving a little slow on Saturday morning. A few days on the road had taken its toll. But some sweet French toast at the Cantina in the Hotel Encanto helped get me going. We had four hours of driving left to get us to Sierra Vista. We made a stop right outside of…

Roswell & Las Cruces
We started our morning with a quick stop at Cadillac Ranch. It is weird, and tourist trap, and covered is spray paint, but I am glad we stopped. We headed southwest. I had researched Bandolero Brewery in Clovis, New Mexico. They opened at 11:00am and the menu looked good. Our route would get us there…

Tulsa Guthrie Amarillo
One of the reasons we stopped in Tulsa was to see the Jay Farrar/Son Volt exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center. The Woody Guthrie Center doesn’t open until 10:00am so we had a little time to sleep in. We got ready and walked to the Chimera Cafe. Karla had a tasty breakfast taco and latte,…

We stopped at 3 Halves Brewing for some lunch and a beer. Karla had the tasty lunch special tacos with smoked…

So much for monthly updates. I have some notes, so I will recount some of our activities in July. The first day of July we went to Rendezvous Brewing and played Trivia with my brother Michael and his daughter Olivia. We had a good night and took first place. Over the long Independence Day weekend,…

June 2025
We got back to Pine Point just before Memorial Day. We started by getting all the boats in the water and continued by working on a lot of projects. I helped Kevin finish his sauna and started working on a storage bench for our entryway. We also worked on water softeners, painting and other projects.…

Pine Point
We continued our journey on Thursday through the rest of Iowa and into Minnesota. We stopped once for gas and a break. Then to Willmar, Minnesota for lunch at Foxhole Brewhouse. We had a pretty good lunch and a couple beers. We also got a couple crowlers to go. From Willmar it was only an…
