After walking around the streets of San Antonio, hearing so much about the famed riverwalk, we finally decided that we should actually find this thing. We didn’t believe there actually was a river running through San Antonio at all. What we discovered was one of the best hidden attractions San Antonio has to offer. Maybe even Texas! Enjoy our photos of the San Antonio Riverwalk.

Days 49-51 – Drama upon arriving in San Antonio, Texas
We drove our RV from Van Horn Texas to San Antonio and headed to the Hidden Valley RV Park where we had an entire week booked. Upon arriving, we witnessed another RV’er experiencing some drama. After a single night, we moved to Braunig Lake RV Park for the remainder of the week where we loved it. Dar made it to her Photoshop workshop with Ben Willmore and we toured San Antonio.
Day 42 – Moved Out of Phoenix and Into Tucson
A short day’s drive from Destiny RV Park in Goodyear through to our new 3 day home in Tucson. We stopped at the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch along the way before leveling out our RV at Whispering Palms RV Park. Then we took a quick tour of Fourth Avenue in downtown Tucson and did some shopping.
Day 19 – Route 88 The Apache Trail
The Apache Trail is officially known as Route 88 and runs eastward from Apache Junction to Roosevelt Dam where it meets up with Route 188. In between these two points we discovered an are rich in history and some incredibly terrifying roads. Starting our day with the Elvis Church and Apache Trail Museum, we moved on to Goldfield and toured the home made ghost town where we watched an old west shootout. Tortilla Flat is located where the pavement ends and the 22 miles of gravel begins. We stopped for lunch at the famous Superstition Saloon where Rob saddled up to the bar before trying their chili. The next 2 hours on gravel road and down Fish Creek Hill was about the most invigorating and terrifying thing we’ve ever done. We were never more grateful for pavement when we got to the end.
Day 8 – Death Valley California Part Two
Touring Death Valley for the 2nd day in a row, we wanted to see more of the sights. Today we first climbed the 15% grade up to Dante’s View at 5600+ feet where it was hailing, then down to Bad WAter at 284 feet BELOW sea level. It’s not supposed to rain in Death Valley, but we were in the middle of a full on rains storm. We waited it out and then drove back up the road to the Natural Bridge just before sunset. Dinner was at the Death Valley Junction Cafe where Rob had to have the Death Valley Junction Burger and coleslaw.
