Oct 15-16, 2018 October 15, 2018 We pull up stakes from a very nice desert boondock spot in search of groceries, showers and water. Soccorro is a bit down and out. No showers to be found-unless we stayed at a commercial campground. We found great tacos and a decent grocery store. The commercial campgrounds aren’t…
End up camping back where we had spent the first night. Oct 13-14, 2018 Oct 13, 2018 Left Turquoise Trail RV Park. I got some antibiotics at Pineridge Medical and Surgical Urgent Care, then off to Oak Flats trailhead, off of 337, south of I40. We accidentally crashed a private memorial service. The group had…
Oct 11-12, 2018 Big news, bad news was that the van had a check engine code related to the DEF system. Rick consulted with his friends on the Promaster forum. Some with a similar code ignored it with no ill affect, but we decided to have the van checked out. After several hours in the…
Oct 10, 2018 We enjoy the views of Gallo Mountain. Fun to know we were up there. Deciding we had to learn how to do something besides hiking and biking we stopped at the Quarai Mission Ruins. Got some interesting history on that supported the history lesson Rick had gotton from the Manzano State Park…
Oct 8-9, 2018 190 miles, 3 hrs Ponderosa pine and Juniper makes a nice setting for a campground. Level sites, some with electric. One set of bathrooms with running water and flush toilets. Everything you could want (except hot showers). A nature walk left from the campground. I learned some trees. First full day we…
Oct 7, 2018 277 miles, 5hrs Heading south looking for warmer/dryer weather. Red Rock City Park was conveniently located off Hwy 40. Pretty setting, showers and reasonably clean bathrooms. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms required a key and had a cautionary note about keeping the door locked. Not the kind of place you would leave stuff…
Oct 5, 2018 138 miles, 2:23 hrs (google Maps) Stopped in Price to load up on water and groceries. Water was a bit of a goose chase. After a detour to the fairgrounds, a couple phone calls and stopping at the water treatment office we discovered the water at the city run dump station was…
Oct 4, 2018 411 miles, 6:08 hours (google maps) Pouring rain greeted us in the morning. We decided to make it a driving day. Lunch at Red Iguana fueled us for some more driving. The plan was Fifth Water Hot Springs – a Heidi recommendation. Alas, the road in was closed due to a wildfire. …
Oct 3, 2018 115 miles, 2:41 hours (based on google maps) After showers we sadly bid farewell to Heidi and Greg. Quick drove thru Yellowstone – not one stop for bison. The beautiful sunset was tempting, but we were hoping to find a campground before dark. No room in any of the Yellow Stone Campgrounds,…
Oct 2, 2018 6 am flight out of Anchorage – a bit better than last trip. At least it gets us into Bozeman at a reasonable time. Ubered to Bridger View Storage. Van was safe and sound in it’s garage. Sure is nice to have covered storage. We had to load up the cover and…
