We’re in Amarillo, and aren’t entirely sure why. We started out headed for the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. We were cruising along some state highway when the road dipped down into the Canyon, or at least one nearby. When I say dipped I mean it went straight down for … Read More
Still Somewhere in Texas
We are up in small-town country Texas now. Driving through places with names like Paducah. Tonight we settled in at Caprock Canyons State Park in the overflow camper parking. Apparently it’s finally the time of year that people actually need reservations for these types of things. We are very very … Read More
Somewhere in Texas
Just had a couple of slow days just driving in a northerly direction. Last night we swung into the Abilene RV Park—a standard sort of dump right smack dab on the interstate. There I was informed that they could not rent us a space for one night because our RV … Read More
Gorman Falls
What do you know, the kids are old enough to go on a hike without being carried the entire way. We set out on a three-mile hike to Gorman Falls this morning in really cold weather, which was actually sort of nice. The kids had a nice time tromping down … Read More
Colorado Bend State Park
Yesterday we drove to Llano, a small Texas hill country town, west of Austin. Yes, we missed Austin yet again. I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve driven through Texas and somehow we have never gone through what has to be one of the most hyped cities in America. … Read More
Turkey Bend
We visited Fredericksburg today. As we drove down Main a guy pulled up alongside us and yelled out that he’d seen us on Tiny House Blog. He laughed and said that he’d just moved and had twenty-five truck loads of crap. The light turned green and he wished us well. … Read More
1966 Dodge Travco Interior (After)
We finally took a few moments to get some interior shots of the bus now that it’s done—or at least nearly so. Here are the before pics. 1966 Dodge Travco Interior (Before)
Luckenbach
I got a new brake light switch, installed it, and still have no brake lights. Crap. I’ve bypassed the switch and confirmed that the wiring is fine, which really only leaves the possibility that the switches are junk. Which, considering they only cost nine bucks, wouldn’t surprise me in the … Read More
San Antonio Fiesta
After getting lost the other day we were closer to San Antonio than we expected, and we also found out that this weekend is what they call Fiesta, and there was going to be a parade today. So, we told the kids, and they were instantly jazzed about the idea … Read More
Texas BBQ
Bum friends had a BBQ today with us as the guests of honor. I have to say that I’m not really the most social guy in the world—the website is really my social outlet outside of my family, and even that obviously revolves solely around them—but these Bumfuzzle get-togethers always … Read More
