They say payback’s a bummer. As you probably could tell from the blogs during our trip, we had a great, relaxing time. The drive home, was not so relaxing, though. Yesterday, I met with a recruiter and we went over my resume. She has a position in mind, and I’m waiting to hear more now. Continue reading “Pay Back”

Home Again
Scott and I arrived home last night about 7:30 p.m., absolutely worn out from the day’s drive. The first 71 miles, from Limon, CO, to Brush, CO, along CO71 (I think) was not too bad. Little did we know we were being pushed along by a strong tail-wind! But once we hit I76 at Brush,Continue reading “Home Again”
Day 15 – The Road Home
We were on the road by 7:30 a.m. Weather was clear and sunny, very little wind, all the way up US54 from Alamogordo to Vaughn, NM. Unfortunately, at Vaughn, US54 was closed. Our plan had been to drive up US54 to just shy of Santa Rosa, then take US84 north to I25 just south ofContinue reading “Day 15 – The Road Home”
Day 14.5 – Snow Day
Well, not too much to report today. Scott and I remained pretty much holed up in the trailer today. We cleaned it out… again. I did the laundry. We watched weather reports. About 4 we went over to Mudder & Pops, and brought them over to see the trailer. Then we went to dinner atContinue reading “Day 14.5 – Snow Day”
Day 14 – Stranded!!!!
Well, it looks like we may be home a bit later than planned. New Mexico has been hit by a major winter storm that has closed most of I40 between Albuquerque and the Texas border. Most of I40 in Texas is also in a very bad condition. Oklahoma doesn’t look much better. EvenContinue reading “Day 14 – Stranded!!!!”
Day 13 – Carlsbad Caverns
Two in one day!!!!!!! This morning, we made up for yesterday’s lazy start, and by 7:30 we were on the road over to Carlsbad Caverns. It’s a nearly 4 hour drive there. Ditto back. And lots to see in between! For those who don’t know… I know I didn’t… a little geological history. To getContinue reading “Day 13 – Carlsbad Caverns”
Day 12 – Space Museum
Sorry I’m so late getting this posted! Yesterday, Scott and I drove over to Terry’s house (Terry is Bruce’s wife) to take Bethany up to the Space Museum. For those who don’t know, Alamogordo, NM, played a major role in the US Space program. White Sands just to the west is the site where manyContinue reading “Day 12 – Space Museum”
Day 11 – Cloudcroft, Sunspot and Ruidoso
This morning was so beautiful! After yesterday’s wind and dust, morning came with clear blue skies and a nice gentle breeze. Scott and I woke up and relaxed a little. By 10 we were on the road. First stop was the town of Cloudcroft. To get an idea of what we’re doing, Alamogordo is atContinue reading “Day 11 – Cloudcroft, Sunspot and Ruidoso”
Day 10 and a Half – Interlude
Well, here it is, Tuesday morning, 6:30 a.m. Waiting for Scott to wake up, trying to kill time. I’ve already posted yesterday’s activities, such as they were. Uh, for obvious reasons, I can’t yet post todays activities. What to do? Then I thought, let’s provide a little mundane detail! I’m sure people are just DYINGContinue reading “Day 10 and a Half – Interlude”
Day 10 – Las Cruces
Good evening all! Today, Scott and I awoke early (for vacation that is) at 6:30, hooked up and set off for Las Cruces. As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve been without hot water since Day 2. We dropped the camper at the service center in Las Cruces, then drove around. We stopped at La Mesilla, theContinue reading “Day 10 – Las Cruces”
