Farewell To The Keys And Hello Tampa
This week, the beauty and uniqueness of the Florida Keys really hits home for Randy and he decides to make them an annual stop.   Key West in particular is just magical, whether it's Hemmingway's house or watching the sunset from Mallory Square or having a tropical drink along Duvall Street.
Randy only reluctantly leaves Key West to travel back up through the Keys and over to Homewood, FL and then across the Everglades in search of alligators.  He finishes his week up at Tampa and springs for a hotel to get all cleaned up for the Angels vs Rays game the next day.

Seriously What Do Key Deer Look Like?
Another week - another weekly adventure for Randy.  This week it's time for some sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts because Randy is hitting every beach in Florida and then heading to Bubba's Mecca, Key West.
We last left Randy as he was hugging the Gulf and driving east through towns like Gulfport and Biloxi and Pascagoula.  This week, he continues his journey east and into the Sunshine State of Florida.  He crosses Florida to the east coast at Jacksonville, and then bravely drives ALL the way down A1A to Miami.   He drives on the beach at Daytona, almost drinks from the Fountain of Youth at St Augustine, and gets all excited to see a nude beach until he sees who is on it.  Cape Canaveral is next, followed by Miami and a baseball game between the Marlins and his beloved Angels.  He ends the week driving Snuffy through the Florida Keys, where he will hang out for several days before heading slowly back north to the Everglades.

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Platitudes
Once again, Bubba has a busy stretch of time and can't get the 'ole podcast recorded fast enough because holy moley Randy has been everywhere in the past week and a half.
We start this week's journey in New Mexico at the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, which is over a mile and a half walk all underground and all beautiful.  Make sure to find Randy's Facebook post on Travels With Randy for this one - amazing pics. 
From there it's off to Guadalupe National Park in Texas and then down to Big Bend National Park in Texas, which borders the Rio Grande and the Mexican border.   Randy then almost poops his pants in San Antonio right before he follows the Texas coast down to South Padre Island and then up and around the Texas border to Galveston, then Orange, Texas.   
Then it's across the swampy west Louisiana landscape over to Baton Rouge and down to New Orleans for a wonderful dinner of....Italian food? (Facepalm).  Randy finishes the week moving across the Gulf Coast into Alabama.
This area is a big memory for Bubba, who sold pictures on streetcorners with Scientologists all across the Nawlins area and over to Gulfport and Biloxi, and he fills Randy in on the experience. 
Randy is Miami bound to watch a little baseball next week and we can't wait to catch up then.

Secret Wine Intelligence Officers And Aliens And Sand, Oh My!
So, it was a bad idea to wait 9 days between podcasts because Randy has had a crazy number of experiences in that time.
Randy first tells the tale of Bisbee, AZ and the unbelievably unlikely encounter with...a fan of the show?  It's a story you've just got to hear and we cover it in detail.  
Not to be outdone, Randy then spends the night at a winery run by a couple of US Ex-Military Foreign Intelligence Officers, and after a glass or two of wine, the stories begin to flow.
Then it's off to cross one of the last National Parks off Randy's list - White Sands, New Mexico.  It's a place beyond description but luckily Randy is a pro photographer and has shared dozens of pictures of the park on our Facebook page.
After visiting a couple of small western towns, Ruidoso and Cloudcroft New Mexico, Randy then ventures into the Alien Capital of the USA, Roswell New Mexico.  He buys Bubba a very interesting hat for his birthday ;)

Season 3 Part 8 of the Travels With Randy Podcast is here!
Head East Old Man!
Listen - a man who wants to circle the entire country can't stay in one place forever, right?
So it's been a fun 10 days or so of home-basing in Quartzsite, AZ during the week and then heading on over to Phoenix for some baseball on the weekends for Randy.  He watched several more Angel games and managed to get out and about, visiting some of the fascinating old mining towns-turned-t-shirt-souvenir-shop towns.  
This round he focused on the old mining town of Globe, AZ and its' sister city Paris, AZ.  No gold was found, however.
Now, it's time to pack up and wave goodbye to Quartzsite for the 'season' - Randy is headed east.  He'll be spending some time in New Mexico finishing up his original goal all those podcasts ago of visiting every US National Park - the Big 63.   He'll knock three of the four remaining ones off his list - White Sands, NM, Big Bend, TX, and Carlsbad Caverns, NM.  
He'll then drive down to the Texas border and basically follow it all the way across Texas and hit Louisiana as he heads towards New Orleans.

Spring Training Is Upon Us
Baseball.  Spring training.  California Angels Spring Training in Phoenix.  Randy is in Heaven.
That's right gang - spring training is finally here.  As you know, Randy has several goals for this year of travelling:   see National Parks, see his Angels play in as many different stadiums as he can, and visit every corner of the USA in Snuffy.   To say Randy is excited about spring training is a bit of an understatement.
He did manage to visit Oatman, AZ earlier this week.  Oatman is one of the many old towns littered across Route 66 that used to be a gold mining town but now sells mostly t-shirts.  He put tons of pics of it up on our Facebook page.
Mostly, though, the week was filled with baseball.  Randy drove over from his home base of Quartzsite, AZ to Phoenix for several days to watch his Angels play some spring ball.  Once again, he took tons of pics - of actual humans this time - that he has uploaded to Facebook.  You can just hear the excitement and joy in his voice as he describes the games.
The fellas also talk about several random topics like the border, credit cards and their insane rates, hotel points programs, and even a common scam to avoid.  Randy then lays out th eplan for the next few weeks of travel.
