The Destination is located in the industrial part of Midland, Texas as part of the Stockard Acres addition.
With its vintage, rustic motif, The Destination is an expression of who we are. We’ve repurposed, revamped, rescued and reused a blend of salvaged goods ranging from car parts to large architectural pieces and turned them into a fascinating combination of very uniquely themed personal patios, each with their own charm.
Originally, the property where The Destination is situated was an alley between barracks housing World War II US Army bombardier school cadets in 1942 for the Midland Army Air Field (Sloan Field). Alongside that was an abandoned lumber yard known as Andy’s Lumber. From this, a vision emerged out of a desire to transform a large and useless weeded space into a masterpiece.

A vintage ’69 Winnebago travel trailer advertised on Craigslist made its home at The Destination after it was found in south Midland.
She was placed on a pad, leveled and blocked to make her a permanent addition that now serves as a retail shop to provide souvenirs, jewelry and clothes.
When she arrived, Winnie was gutted and remodeled with a new floor, walls and a ceiling. A tin roof shields her from the elements and she is surrounded by a raised wooden deck that serves as a bar top. Her pad was finally completed with a front lower wood deck home to a picnic table and wide open space to enjoy the sun or stars at night.
As the saying goes, “a crowded camper is better than an empty castle”.
