Let’s play What’s in a Name! Here’s how it works: I write about someone we met along our travels — and sprinkle in a few Easter Eggs. Your job? See if you can guess who they are… or maybe even if I’m talking about you. Now I may or may not have photos
Our second fuel stop was south of El Paso, TX — at the Petro Truck Stop, where we took on 55 gallons of diesel. Retail price: $197. Thanks to our Open Roads (TSD) card, we paid just $159.

It was 2019. We — along with some good Folks — were on our way to the Alfa Chapters rally in Fredericksburg, TX. The route was full of wonderful sights and unforgettable moments. Just like many of the Folks we travel with and who were coming to the Rally. Along with Richard Mares and Marley, some Folks just seem to hit it off.
That trip took us along I-10, before we turned north onto NM 80 from Roadforks, NM. Then came a right onto NM 145, then NM 338, and finally onto NM 9.
(P.S. — NM 9 is a 109-mile-long stretch of highway that crosses Hidalgo, Grant, and Luna counties. It’s remote, scenic, and worth every mile.)
One of our stops was Pancho Villa State Park, New Mexico. And here’s where things got interesting — we somehow misplaced our 2015 Ford F-150. That’s a story for another day.

This year, thankfully, has been smoother. We left Las Cruces and headed east on I-10, making our fuel stops and overnight stays as usual.
Our next stop? Sonora, TX — where we stayed at Stadium Park. A quiet place tucked into what looked like an older RV/mobile home park. Full hookups, pull-through sites, and just right for a night or even a restful couple of days. Cost: $40 cash. (Apparently, that rate might change depending on the day or time.)
And of course, we met some nice Folks — including Kevin, who guided us to our site with a friendly wave.
So… did you spot the clues? Recognize any names or places?
Last Clue, we were fortunate to stop in a small tome of Bastrop. Texas and not Louisiana, where we had the chance to get together again and reminisce.

Oops, just a few photos. What can you shoot along the way ? Not much.
