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’)

MULLET 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!

Campground Notes:

• Funky (see photos below)
• Inexpensive ($20 a night)
• Located right off I10. Easy in, easy out.
• Couldn’t connect to the park’s WiFi.
• Cell coverage: Verizon 4G (10+ Mbps).
