Let’s go to Luckenbach & Fredericksburg TX

















Yesterday we disconnected the trailer from the truck and drove into Fredericksburg to explore the town. On the way there I realized how close we were to Luckenbach Texas so there was a small detour.  No live music of food for the day, but it was a neat little stop.  

The population of Fredericksburg is 10,500 which is quite a bit bigger than I thought it would be. The town is really cute and has a deep German heritage.  There is a Pacific War Museum in town, but we decided to save that for another trip.  We found a spot to park the kids in the shade as it was in the low 80s.  We had lunch at Der Lindenbaum.  Katy had the Schnitzel and I had a Rueben.  It was a good sandwich, not greasy at all and had mustard vs thousand island.  

We walked both sides of Main Street along the Nimitz Hotel. I toured his namesake Aircraft Carrier in 1997.  We stopped in quite a few shops and got our to-go cup of wine from Grape Creek.  We walked around for a bit more and then headed back to the truck.  It was 86*.  

We then took a little truck tour of town to the west and then down south towards the high school.  Have I mentioned that this town is really nice?  We also made an impromptu stop at Pedernales Vet clinic.  The dogs are due for some pills and they sold them to us no questions asked...other than what do they weigh.  And their price was way better than what we have paid in the past.  Good to go for 3 more months!  

We stopped at a winery on the way back, it was pretty fancy and the wine was just OK.  They also need to find a better cartographer for their shipping locations.  

After that stop, we came back and set up chairs in the parking lot on the shady side of the trailer.  There was another couple with two vehicles and a trailer.  They were headed back to AZ and were in a hurry.  They left this morning between 6-7.  For us it is road trip day.  Waco is the next stop.  Magnolia Farms as we have a meeting with Chip and Jo tomorrow.  Lola also needs her shoes rotated and a fluid transfusion.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Image
Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
