The Traveling Ducheks

  • Coleman, Monahans and El Paso, Texas (Jan 14-18)

     

     

     
     
    Sorry for the delay!  We left the DFW area on Friday the 14th and headed to Coleman, Texas. We stayed a Hords Creek Lake Park. It is a very nice campground. The lake was low, but we didn’t mind. There were deer everywhere!  We enjoyed the 2 night stay, drove to Abilene and just poked around.  Ed even went hunting letterboxes with me!

     

     
     
     
    We then moved to Monahans State Park on the 16th.  I had gone as a child with Mama and the boys and wanted to go back to see what it is like.  It is pretty cool!  I learned that when you are overweight and over-45, the sand surfing is just not the same. 😆 

     

     

     

    Scooby immediately hated the sand.  He would not go out of the camper without being picked up and placed in the sand. It was hysterical.  

     

    We went to Odessa to check out a replica of Stonehenge that is on the UT campus.  It was pretty cool.  The Geology department created it.

     

    We then went to Midland and went to a cool popcorn shop that had a bunch of different flavors! We got a few small bags and it was fun!  We also checked out a petroleum museum and found another letterbox.

    This sign was at a Pilot station and I had to get a photo of Ed with it, as this could be his life motto!  🥰

    We are now in El Paso, just for the night (18th). Then we will head to Tucson, where we plan to stay a week. 

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (2022)

    Welcome to our blog page!  We are going to be trying our best to keep a traveling blog of all our adventures & just daily life living on the road. We are super excited to begin this journey soon. We made our first official move on Dec 30. We left our friends beautiful ranch in Farmersville and are now at a park at Lake Lewisville. My kidney & UTI treatments are not complete yet, so we had to delay things just a bit.  Hopefully my daily IV treatments will take care of things and we will be headed to Abilene on the 14th. Ed’s last day of work is this week, so we will have a bit of time to tie up any loose ends next week.  

    I figure I would introduce you to our truck, Johnny. We waited a bit over 6 months for him…and he is a beaut!  I have been so excited to be back in a truck again. I had to give mine up when James was born, so it’s been a while!  Johnny is a 2022 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually with the complete tow package  

    June is our home on the road  She is a 2021 Durango Gold G391RKQ. She is 42.5’ with a rear kitchen. We have been living in her full-time stationary since June. I have to say, it’s been quite an adjustment going from a 3500 sq ft home into this, but we downsized dramatically and it has been very freeing. I really enjoy having so little space to keep clean!
