Travels with Iggy, Roswell New Mexico

Posted 11-14-2013 at 10:22 PM by Road Geezer

This refers to Thursday, Sep 2

So last Thursday we were traveling south from Santa Fe headed to San Antonio via Roswell, NM. Hwy 285 clear skies, hot, no traffic, about 1 in the afternoon. Looking up we became aware of a dark shadow starting to blot out the sun. The shadow grew larger and darker assuming a roundish shape with an odd glow around the edges. It seemed to be tracking us along the highway. This went on for about five minutes. I began to wonder if the Airstream...

Travels with Iggy, Winslow Arizona

Posted 11-14-2013 at 10:16 PM by Road Geezer

We stayed a night at a state campground just outside Winslow that is the site of an ancient Indian ruin, Homo' lovi. A peacefulness in the quiet of the unlimited vistas, the gentle breeze easing the day's dry heat, evening’s herbal scents. At twilight about five miles down slope, trucks moved silently along Hwy 40. In the far distance the lights of some distant city lit up the underside of storm clouds; looked a lot like the inside of one of those yuppie pizza ovens. This isn't desert, it's...

Travels with Iggy 10,549.6

Posted 11-14-2013 at 09:59 PM by Road Geezer

August 25, 2013, Bobbie and I left San Jose with our Airstream, Iggy, in tow on what would become our first journey of a lifetime. We hope it’ll be the first of many. The original motivation was to visit our dear friends, Robin and Jim in South Carolina and join in celebrating their 50th anniversary on September 13th. Plans grew from there. It was a bit like ‘… well, while in the ‘neighborhood’, why not visit relatives in West Palm Beach and Orlando on our way to SC”.Our daughter and grandson...

Travels with Iggy, Intro

Posted 11-14-2013 at 09:52 PM by Road Geezer

This is my first shot at creating a blog, so please excuse the mistakes. I hope they'll be few.

Last August--2013--we embarked on what was the longest trip of our brief RVing "career," an around the country 10,500+ mile journey spread over two months.
