Today I wanted to touch on a few things that I learned on my last trip across America. If I stop and think about it there's a lot of things I've learned that I find helpful but they might seem a bit eccentric or a little over the top.

In Arizona alone there are over a million petroglyphs. Many are from the Archaic style which date back to 5000 BC. There is also the Hohokam … Continue reading Prehistoric Adventure Ends With Pancakes!
I purposely left Austin at 4am to get to Las Cruces, New Mexico by lunchtime. It's one of my favorite places for Mexican food and once I'm there I know I only have four more hours before reaching Tucson. Also there's the fact that there really isn't much to see or do between Austin and … Continue reading The Crosses, Or Crossroads?
It was a brisk windy morning when I awoke at my BNB and headed out for another hike in Zilker Park. I like starting the day with a little exercise, especially when I know I'm going to be eating a rather large lunch! As I walked along the steep rocky trail I saw people on … Continue reading Keep Austin Weird- Part 2
