I took the wheel yesterday and drove us from Raton, NM to this campground in Santa Rosa, about 178 miles from point A to B. Been quite awhile that I have driven the truck/RV and it felt good. Beautiful ride down I25 and then cut off in Las Vegas (New Mexico, not Nevada) down to Interstate 40 and east about 35 miles into Santa Rosa. Not happy with this campground but it was the only thing we could find since the Balloon Fest started today through the 9th in Albu(querquie). And, it is 110 miles to Albu from here - and no campsites available. On Wednesday we plan to drive into Albu to do shopping, stock up, etc. and to check out RV's. This rig is getting just too huge to maneuver. We are hoping some campsites open up and maybe move next Friday to way closer to Albu since I fly out on the 10th to Phoenix. Would make it much easier for Dave to be around civilization instead of this no-mans land town.
Being in this campground was entertaining last night. A neighbor RVer said that they have been there for 3 days, waiting on a campsite to open up in Albu, but they said each night the campground fills up and by 8am, all gone. Which is what happened this morning only it started about 4:30am with RVers leaving to head into Albu to watch to mass ascension of balloons - the kick off morning. Got pretty noisy for awhile. My chore for today is to scout around for a possible campground to move to - and yippee! we have cell service.
