May 2, 2018 – Texas, New Mexico and Arizona

May 2, 2018. We started our last practice trip before we attempt the trek to Alaska.  This one starts by visiting Jim and Tracy near Ft Worth, TX and ends up three weeks later at Overland Expo West near Flagstaff, AZ. We are looking forward to practicing “restocking days”- groceries, laundry, etc and other aspects of long term traveling.

Our first overnight was at a cute New Mexico State Park near the borders of Oklahoma and Texas: Clayton Lake.  Famous for its lake trout and the Dinosaur tracks that were discovered while the dam here was being built.
