Another night with no heat! Yeesh! At least now, we know why. But, just in case, we purchased a small space heater today. And we slept LATE. I mean LATE! 7:30 a.m. After nice hot showers down at the office, we spent some time with one of the men who works here, who came upContinue reading “Day 5 – City of Rocks and Gila Cliff Dwellings”

Day 4 – Tijeras to Silver City
Yowser! What a day! Before I launch in to today’s activities, I want to make it clear that Scott and I ar having a fantastic time! That said, today has been a bit of a challenge. I awoke at 5:30 a.m. to the marvelous sound of brewing coffee (we have it set to start automatically.) Continue reading “Day 4 – Tijeras to Silver City”
Day 3 – Indian Ruins
Today was set aside for touring some ruins south of Tijeras. After a leisurely start to our day, including showers, we got on the road about 9:15 a.m. and set off. We drove down Highway 333/337 along the eastern boundary of the Manzano Mountains to Quarai Ruins near the town of Punta. Seeing this sign,Continue reading “Day 3 – Indian Ruins”
Day 2 – Elk City OK to Tijeras NM
Today, like yesterday, was supposed to be an uneventful day. Eh, not so much. After a quick breakfast of cereal, and a couple good cups of coffee, we set off. As hoped, we left the campground in Elk City at 8:30 a.m. It was good sleeping in until 6:15! That’s an hour more sleep thanContinue reading “Day 2 – Elk City OK to Tijeras NM”
Day 1 – Council Bluffs to Elk City
That’s Elk City, Oklahoma, about 112 miles west of Oklahoma City on Interstate 40. No pictures today… it was mostly a travel day. We had hoped to get going by 7 a.m. And we actually succeeded. We arrived at the storage are at 7 sharp, and after a quick hookup, we were on the roadContinue reading “Day 1 – Council Bluffs to Elk City”
Preparations Begin
One of the reasons I created this new blog on our web site was to document our life ON the road… as well as off. This past week I began preparing for our first (and possibly only) trip of 2009 in our camper. Thursday, I took the trailer over to Camping World to get itContinue reading “Preparations Begin”
Settled In
(Post written on 8/7/2008 – No Internet Service until 8/11/2008) We arrived! But first, we left the KOA Wednesday, Aug. 6, by about 9:45, and headed for IHOP for breakfast. Following that there was about $100 of supplies we needed at Wal-Mart. Very dry recounting of the morning, I know, but how does one spiceContinue reading “Settled In”
Best Laid Plans
I had today planned… down to the minute, just about! We were going to leave at 9 a.m., and we were going to arrive in Cheyenne, Wyoming, at the KOA by 5 p.m. Key the sound of screeching tires…. the refrigerator isn’t working! This necessitated a stop at the nearby Camping World for a propaneContinue reading “Best Laid Plans”
