April 29,2010: Heading West


Gary and Patricia left the beautiful spring weather in Alabama and headed for the high plains deserts of New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. This is our first long trip in our "new" previously-owned motorhome, aka 'the short bus'. Also coming along on the trip is our extremely experienced Jeep Wrangler.


We are three days out now and 1300 miles under our belts and everything is rosy. Of course, that could be because I've just had a nice, long hot shower (the first in 3 days)! We are staying 3 nights in Grants, New Mexico, and I am listening to the wet snow hit the roof as I type. We left home a week earlier than planned because Gary thought it was going to be too HOT here. Oh, well.


Tomorrow we are going jeeping at El Malpais National Monument (the Badlands). Just in case you want to know, it is pronounced el mal pie EEZ.

  2. Hi ya'll. Keeping a weblog is a great idea. No kitchen fires here at the house yet, btw...
