Posted on June 1, 2017by sarah

the last few weeks of miscellany.

Posted on May 16, 2017by sarah

after we left santa fe, we went to a campground (villanueva state park) that was in the middle of nowhere and had no internet/cell. we stayed a night before finding a spot that was mostly in the middle of nowhere (springer, nm) but DID have internet. the next week, we went to sugarite canyon, which […]

week one.

Posted on April 16, 2017by sarah

Posted on April 8, 2017by sarah

this is the post about our two weeks in carlsbad, when we weren’t exploring nearby national parks. but, before that, our trip from big bend to where we were staying near carlsbad was over 5 hours, so we broke it up with a layover at the fort stockton, texas walmart. decidedly less cool than big […]

Posted on March 24, 2017by sarah

as i was going through pics for big bend, i realized that i never posted about our time in del rio, other than our visit to seminole canyon state park. we didn’t do a ton, partly because there wasn’t much to do but mostly because we all rotated through a terrible stupid cold. ok, without […]

Posted on March 10, 2017March 10, 2017by sarah

last sunday, we made one last mad dash into san antonio. we wanted to do a bit of river walking in the more downtown section of the river. and check out some shops and such. you know. and eat. one of the reasons we haven’t gone into town more is the insanity of the roadwork. […]
