Car crash in the Lincoln National Park. Looked like it hit the mountain and was hit by another car.

 December 20, 2024 We have been in Study Butte for a week now and have enjoyed every minute. The weather has held at 75 degrees daily with lows at night about 45. We do have to turn the heat on early morning and air conditioning in the late afternoon but we can handle that. We spent a day in Big Bend National Park on Tuesday. It was a 25 mile dirt and rock road within the park that took us 4 hours to complete. We did meet two motorcycles and two trucks on the route coming from the opposite direction.  We ended up backing up for about 1/4 mile and hugging the side of a hill to let the two trucks pass.  It was a 35 mile drive to the trail and 50 miles after the trail to get back to our campsite. Yesterday we drove back to Alpine, TX to pick up a prescription for Diane, get the Jeep washed and pick up some groceries. This is a 80 mile trip one-way. We also stopped at the local library so I could download and print out the schematics for the electrical system in the coach. Th...

 December 29, 2024 Last post of 2024.  This past week we headed west on 170 past Lajitas to explore what was a native sleeping area in the Big Bend State Park (not to be confused with the Big Bend National Park) about 40 miles from Study Butte. Each hole is a sleeping area in the rock.  Robin, the RV Park owners mother, was our tour guide. She had visited the area, spending quite a bit of time with her daughter exploring the area and was a wealth of information. In walking around the area and climbing up the rocks you could see the areas where the natives carved out the rock for sleeping quarters.   There were 50-100 of these areas carved into the rock from ground level up the hill side. There was still an adobe structure on site as you can see from the pictures. When we left the area, a dirt road leading back toward the mountains called to me so I had to explore. It went back for a mile or so, winding its way to the edge of the mountain. It looks like an area t...

 December 15, 2024 Well it has been an interesting week since we left home. The RV electrical problems that plagued me while at  home continued as we made our way south. I had replaced the Inverter/Charger the day before we left and thought everything was working fine. However, that was short lived. On a daily basis the 12 volt system would shut down leaving us without power for heat, hot water and lights. Could not get water to flush the toilets but we did have 120 volt power to run the space heaters we had along.  We only stayed a day at the first three stops and each time we encountered problems with the electrical system. This meant pulling a number of items out from under the coach and crawling inside to check and reset the inverter. I looked at and checked everything from wiring to fuses and breakers. Nothing seemed wrong, which was frustrating. On our third day, I was able to reach out to Entegra Customer Service but they did not have any answers and would have to ...
