Del Rio, TX

We have traveled extensively in Texas and haven’t even “scratched the surface”. But, we have stayed at almost all of the military bases that have RV Parks/CGs.

These pictures were taken at the USAF campground and marina on Lake Amistad. We were on an adventure meandering down the west side of TX from El Paso to Brownsville. We were parked at the Laughlin AFB FAMCAMP, Del Rio, TX when the pictures were taken.

Lake Amistad is a beautiful clear water lake full of black bass and pan fish.

Martinez Lake, AZ

On one of our many side trips from Yuma, we drove out to Martinez Lake and took a Stern-wheeler boat ride on the Colorado River. It included lunch and some nice views of both sides of the river. We were a little surprised at all the dry campers on the federal lands on the CA side. There were a lot of fishing boats. Mostly out in the tall grassy areas fishing with wild shiners for the “big one”.

Sunland Park, NM

There is a very good restaurant where you can eat and watch the horse racing at Sunland Park race track & casino. The casino area has gaming tables, slot machines and a sport betting section.

Sault St. Marie, MI

Soo Locks: During a two week stay at Mackinaw City at a RV resort - right on the banks of Lake Huron - we decided to take a day trip to Sault Ste. Marie, way up on the upper peninsular. We took I-75 which ends at the middle of the Saint Marys River. Our goal was to take a tour boat ride up through one of the Soo Locks which turned out to be the CDN lock. We came back through an American lock. From our boat ride we saw large RV Parks on both sides of the river.

In the pictures the yellow boat is CDN. The white one was American and the one we rode on. We weren’t picky; it just turned out that way.

We were there on a weekday and parking and ticket buying wasn’t a problem. The streets leading to the tour boat area are loaded with smallish shops and street side cafes, none were overly expensive. On the way back to Mackinaw City we found a Studebaker restaurant to have supper.

Acadia NP, ME

The first four pictures were taken of/from Cadillac Mountain. The fifth shows the four master at a pier in Bar Harbor. It operates as a day tour boat from that pier at Bar Harbor.

Alexandria Bay, NY

This is the home port for 1000 Islands tour boat rides on the St. Lawrence River. Parking during the week is easy and so is the shopping. The boat tours are moderately priced and snacks aboard the tour boats are not over priced. You can stop at the shopping pier at Boldt Island, get off your boat and walk around, do some shopping and catch the next boat to continue your tour.

It’s a wonderful adventure, especially so with a good guide.

Devils Lake, ND

We were parked at Dickinson, ND for a couple of weeks and went meandering around on US-2. Then we took ND-57 to the Spirit Lake Casino & Resort. It’s a nice ride across the lake on the causeway to the casino. The casino resort is modern with a FHU and paved RV Park.

Reno, NV

While parked at Reno for an extended stay, we took a side trip up US-395 to Lake Tahoe. As we were winding up US-395 we took these pictures looking back at the Reno/Sparks metropolitan areas.

NAS Corpus Christi, TX

Once while parked at the RV Park at NAS Corpus Christi, we ventured out to Padre Island to drive on the sandy beach. It was a beautiful clear day and some guys parked close to us let us take a picture of a “Red” they just caught in the surf.

Sanford, ME

For about 65% of our full time travels we were accompanied by our long time friends from our Navy Days (Don and Betty Doole).

In these pictures Don and I are trying our ten pin bowling skills on candlepins at a bowling alley in Sanford, ME. Don and I both did more than 30 years active duty and met early in our careers.

If heading to Helen, Georgia any time in the near future, bring your Mastercard, Visa, checkbook AND Momma's Visa. And don't expect brat's better than your favorite at home. Sorry.

Portsmouth, NH

NH only has 103 miles of shorefront on the Atlantic Ocean. Being raised just across the river in North Berwick, ME I had numerous family members that made their living working at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Located just across the river are the popular shopping malls at Kittery, ME.

Here are some pictures I took on a gloomy, dark cloudy day. They are just a glimpse along the waterfront.

Yuma, AZ

After a couple months stay at Yuma, AZ we decided it was time to head east.

After making the agricultural stop just after leaving Yuma on I-8 and making the long haul up the mountains, we stopped at a trucker’s area to do a walk around. After a two month stop it pays to see how things are traveling. Sure enough, it was a good idea. A tire had picked-up a piece of wire in the sidewall and was leaking. Being high mileage full timers we take tire changing in stride. Next stop, we get a new spare tire.
