The SXSW Epic Journey: Lake Havasu City to Austin  (click to enlarge)

Wally’s been bugging me to start planning my SXSW events, so since our cell coverage has been declining, we’ll summarize our remaining stops . . .

  • March 5 – Saddleback Mountain RV Park, Balmorhea, TX (Elevation 3200’)
  • March 6 – South Llano River State Park, Junction, TX (Elevation 1700’)
  • March 7 thru 9 – Inks Lake State Park, Burnet, TX (Elevation 1300’)
  • March 10 thru 19 – Pecan Grove RV Park, Austin, TX (Elevation 500’) – SXSW !!!

We’ll try to get more photos and stuff before we arrive in Austin.

So far we’re going to the

  • Austin Music Awards on Sunday, March 12,
  • a free cocktail hour hosted by Looking Forward with Madison on March 13 (simply an excuse to drink & eat free),
  • KPOP Night Out – I’d really like to see  Yoonmirae and Hyolyn because she’s hot, she sings incredibly, and she’s hot.
  • more coming

In the planning stages . . .

March 20 thru 23 – San Antonio
March 24 thru 31 – Port Aransas

Journey to SXSW – Part 4: A “Mullet” RV Campground

The 4th stop on our way to SXSW . . .

COACHLIGHT INN & RV PARK (Las Cruces, NM / Elevation 3900’)

mullettMULLET Definition – “Business in the Front. Party in the Back”.

We’ve seen several RV parks like the Coachlight Inn — a formal hotel in the front and an RV park in the back.

We love the Coachlight!
