We start working 5-1-20 for a two month stint. It is so nice to be out of the house, away from the news and house chores. The different scenery is great! We drove southeast and plan on going up through NM to CO and take a few days to get there. Something different from traveling through the AZ-UT reservation as there are few places to stop and there is a high COVID-19 infection rate in that area.
With masks in hand, we have set out on our adventure. NM has state park closures until 5-1-20 so our favorite landing spot, City of Rocks State Park is not available for camping.
We ended up spending the night at Elephant Butte Lake RV Resort near the town of Truth or Consequences, NM. It was a very nice resort and we ended up getting one of the last spots. Because of COVID-19 mandates they are required to stay at 25% occupancy. Most traveler services like rest areas, truck stops and restaurant drive throughs are mostly open.
Our dogs are really happy to be out and about again. Temperature are in the 90’s so far. Using the AC requires electricity so we will be doing very little dry camping at this point. Stay with us on our new adventure!
Oh good, I get to tag along! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteGive my best regards to the old home town. I have not seen it for about 8 or 9 years now and it had sure changed then from the time I lived thee and went to grade school there. We lived out on the Redlands on a point overlooking the valley below. The very end of Panorama Dr. Would love to see a photo of it now. If you get a chance. I hope you enjoy your time there.
