The rest of October 2025
Our new place was still pretty empty. We shopped all the thrift and antique stores including D’s Furniture, St Vincent dePaul, Goodwill, Hidden Treasure Mall, Rocking Horse Antique Mall, Arizona Trading, Sorted Past, BZB Consignment, Bitchin Pickens, and the Bargain Barn of Palominas. We also visited most of the big box stores including Lowe’s, Walmart,…

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,…

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.…

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…
