East Coast Fall 2021 – Henderson and Home
November 22-26 We broke camp Monday morning to make the drive to Kim and Marty’s in Henderson, where we would stay until Friday and celebrate Thanksgiving with them and a household of others, an event they have held annually and are now resuming after taking a Covid break the last two years. This would be […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Death Valley
November 19-21 Today’s drive would be a more manageable at six or so hours and so; after a stop at a Starbucks for a Venti vanilla latte, we hit the I-40 and motored west. Our many trips over the years have brought us along this route and thus the landmarks have become familiar. Knowing we’d […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Portales to Flagstaff
November 18-21 With a long day of driving ahead of us, likely close to ten hours, we made sure to get an early start from Portales. The donuts we’d purchased and hastily consumed combined with some high-test coffee fueled the first part of the drive and before we knew it we passed some signs indicating […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Portales, New Mexico
November 16-17 We filled up on breakfast at the Holiday Inn and after loading up the car, made our way to the Grace Museum on the outskirts of downtown. Located at the corner of Cypress and North First Streets, it was built in 1909 by Col. W. L. Beckham of Greenville, Texas. Constructed in the […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Abilene, Texas
November 14-15 I hit the road for San Antonio around 10am and made good time including a brief stop at a McDonald’s for their decent coffee and a very good cinnamon roll. Soon enough I found myself at the airport where after a short wait at the cellphone lot, I picked up Joanna and we […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Corpus Christi, Texas
November 12-13 My drive the next day at just under six hours would go smoother, with just a quick stop for lunch at a McDonalds. I arrived and Stephanie and Lee’s house mid-afternoon feeling much better than the day before, unloaded the car and then in the wink of an eye, found myself sitting next […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Vidor, Texas
November 11 It would be a long day in the car as I plied my way east on Interstate 10, figuring I’d have a six-hour drive ahead of me. Originally, we had planned to spend one more night in Mobile and then move on to Galveston for three nights but that went by the wayside […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Mobile, Al
November 9-10 A good day’s drive of seven hours took us along familiar territory, west on I-10 across the Florida panhandle to land in Daphne, Alabama, sitting across Mobile Bay from Mobile itself. Originally we had planned to camp closer to town for three nights at Meaher State Park which we used in 2016 (https://3jmann.com/2016/05/07/south-east-spring-swing-mobile-part-one/), […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Durham, Summerfield, Charleston, and Fernandina Beach
November 3-8 We made the now familiar drive up to Durham to spend one night there as we continued to work on Joanna’s mom’s placement and the next morning drove the short distance to Ann and Rendy’s where we would spend just two nights. It would be a low-key visit, with a couple of highlights, […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Charlotte, Part Three
October 29 – November 2 Continuing our string of meeting up with two different sets of people each day, we made our way to The Famous Toastery at Concord Mills to for breakfast with some of our friends from the Piedmont Adventure Club, Peggy and Luther and Diane and Loren. During our time in Charlotte […]
