After about 450 miles, we stopped for the evening just outside of Corpus Christi... 3 1/2 hours to home. Not long after getting set up, Mother Nature put on quite a display: thunderstorms all around us; plenty of wind and rain.
The Texas roads are great after the bone-jarring stuff that passes for pavement in Oklahoma. Izzy the travel cat continues to amaze: she rides like a real champ. A fly buzzing around the truck kept her entertained for a while, and she kept us entertained.
The traffic was thick through Dallas and Austin, but we stayed on the Interstates. Today, we were just making miles.

About Us
- Captain Jim and the Blonde
- Now based in Arizona, coast to coast, United States
- We retired in 2006. Since then, we spent a few years traveling on our boat, Wild Blue. From the Florida Keys to Desolation Sound in Canada, San Francisco Bay to the Erie Canal and down the Hudson River to New York City... going where the weather suits our clothes. Now traveling by land in our Winnebago motorhome, and newly based out of Arizona. A while back, I published a book about our travel adventures with Molly the Boat Cat; Cat On A Leash is available in paperback and all eBook formats. Molly taught me a lot. After Molly, there was 9 great years with the sweetest cat ever, Izzy (Isabella); our little supermodel feline. Our hearts were broken when her time came, and we are now enjoying our big boy, Rufus - another shelter rescue, with a wonky ear, a great attitude, and so happy to have found "his people." Eight years of "fun summer jobs" has taken us to some great places to be in the summer. Now, appreciating being gainfully unemployed. And getting out on our bikes (a Honda CTX for me, a Yamaha Xmax for Joan). Still anxious to see what is over the horizon.
