New Mexico - Here We Come!

A quick update on the Terrific Threesome. Amy and I left Duane's Sunday morning around 11 a.m. to meet up with Joan in Brownwood, TX. We were heading for Lamesa, TX north of Big Springs. Every hour Joan would do a status check on each of our transmission and water temps that she will post on the Rialta Tech site. We are very pleased with much lower temps. We arrived in Lamesa around 5 p.m. and set up in the Lamesa City RV Park. 10 full hook-up sites on cement pads. Cost was very reasonable...like FREE!! Yeah, that's right - FREE!

On Monday, we headed out around 8:30 to gas up and travel to Carlsbad, New Mexico. Not a long hard drive, but not much scenery either. We bought groceries at Wal-Mart and filled-up again so we would be ready to roll when we leave here. After we set up camp in Carlsbad RV Park (once a KOA), we took the Road Runner and headed out to sightsee. Well, the Riverwalk Drive was pretty, but we missed the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. Most likely was the driver's fault.

Welcome to New Mexico!

Today we left early for Carlsbad Caverns hoping to get tickets for the King's Palace tour which on-line at the national park website showed full. Lady Luck was with us. We were able to get on the 10 am tour. Since we had a little over an hour wait, we did the self guided Big Room tour. Joan took lots of pictures. We timed it just right as the King's Palace tour was just forming. I will post pictures and comments about Carlsbad from our next available wi-fi site. Joan's making beef stew for supper, so Amye and I may catch a nap while Joan works.

Tomorrow..on to Deming, N.M.
