New Mexico

From Arizona, we entered New Mexico and stayed in Gallup.  The temperatures have been 104+ every day since we left Palm Springs.  We knew what we were in for before we started so no use in complaining.

We rearranged things so we could have a little office space to pay bills, book RV Parks, etc.

Cactus Moccasins?  OUCH!

Poor Sandy.  This is my only profile picture....

Doing the Bald Eagle Dance at the Dancing Eagle Casino.  We try to plan meals at casinos because they have great food!

When we were in Palm Springs, our friend Chris Elliott got us interested in gourmet root beers.  We've been experimenting along Route 66.  These are but a few of our faves:

Another star party.  Tonight we saw Jupiter and 4 of its moons plus the Moon and Venus.  As luck would have it, the guy in the RV space next to ours was an astronomer at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff.  He loved my old school scope and we gave a great show for the kids.  Here's a quick shot with my iPhone of Jupiter and 4 of her moons:

Today we drove to Brantley Lake State Park in Carlsbad New Mexico.  Many watercraft.  Tomorrow we head to the Carlsbad Caverns!  Stay tuned....
