Spent a loooong day driving from Weatherford, TX (outside of Dallas) to Carlsbad, NM to get to Carlsbad Caverns in time for the impressive 1.7 million-bats-belched-out-of-cave show that begins at sundown. There was an hour-long setup in an amphitheater right outside the cave. How much info about bats is too much? We were right thereContinueContinue reading “Day 4 – Feelin’ Groovy”

Day 3 – Hot Springs
Hello, my name is Leo. At the campground we went bike riding in the morning. Then we went to Hot Springs National Park. It has fountains that are 140F.

Lists for the Listless
Self-professed list obsessed person here. If my current profession should suddenly stop working out, I could apply to be Santa’s personal assistant (“Making a list and checking it twice? I do that ALL THE TIME!”) Of course, lists are always great, but they are probably the most useful when you have to plan ahead andContinueContinue reading “Lists for the Listless”

Luckily, we’ve been car camping for a while now, and have some experience with bringing a household along. The fabulous internet also has lists for RVContinueContinue reading “Packing 101”
