Friday 5/3 Alamogordo NM - City of Rocks, NM We said our goodbyes (see you laters) to pudgealamo with a last breakfast in White Sands. Our pancakes were more bitter than sweet.

Sunday 4/28 Marathon, TX - Guadalupe Mountains National Park, TX I’ve camped a few places in and around Big Bend, and the Marathon Motel and Park might well be my favorite.

I feel some very some powerful, territorial identification with the place, probably bread into me through UT Football games, good barbeque, and country music. I confess that I am mildly embarrassed of this feeling. That does not make it … Continue reading The Daily – Loner Star
Wednesday 4/10 De Soto National Forest Mississippi - New Orleans, Louisiana Some days are easy and some days are hard, but sometimes you’re ready and sometimes you’re not and this complicates.
