Lubbock, Texas Day 4 (GA291)

 Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.

Because we have 4,500+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

I’m currently in my 23rd year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in Palm desert, California. I’m scheduled to depart here March 15th.

 

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

 

 

In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

 

 

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

Mary remains at home in California tending to medical issues.

 

 

The motorhome is still parked at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Airee #4271. I expect to leave here tomorrow morning.

 

 

Yesterday I wrote about the Buddy Holly Center near downtown Lubbock located at the corner of 19th Street and The Crickets Avenue. Directly across the street to the west is the Texas Walk Of Fame. Here is a plaque that explains it…

The Texas Walk Of Fame consists of 65 plaques (currently) on a curved wall with an eight foot tall statue of Buddy Holly in the center forefront…

This almost back view shows that Buddy Holly has a good view of the Buddy Holly Center directly across the street…

 

 

Enjoying interesting places and things is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
