We like to stay in state parks when we can, although it’s challenging sometimes because they generally lack sewer. In this case, the water was shut off, but we were pleased to discover Buffalo Gap, a little town outside Abilene.

For Texas and New Mexico, we track counties on our travel maps. I realized that we had stayed in numerous Texas and New Mexico counties before we started living in this coach full-time, so I added those at this stop. I also added Arizona to our state maps, since we visited there in one of our first long trips.
