The low has passed and it got cold

The storm yesterday that went on to eastern NM. All we got was some wind and dust. Very litle rain.















Shirley took lots of pics yesterday on her day trip to the park. Welcome to the desert. Rainfall here is 9.5". Dry and lovely for those that like it that way. I would say warm too but its 37* this morning and going for a high around 68*. More rain for tonight with large hail forecast. We dont need hail, a new car and new covers over the slides.

We will replan our travels to stay south for another week. The route we were looking at takes us up to Eager, AZ which is in the cold forecast for next week. Cold as in lows in the mid 20's. We want warm and are looking for sights to see and places to go along I10. We were here in '01 so we have seen Tombstone and Bisbee.

Deming, NM

We are at Dreamcatcher RV Park till Monday morning. We got here yesterday about 4:30 from Lovington, NM.














We went thru Hobbs to US180 and went thru Carlsbad, El Paso and Los Cruces, NM. Not alot to see that way. We did get pics of the highest point in Texas. See the US180 pic folder.

I played golf this morning and DW went to the state park for her outing. The golf course is still in winter but the greens were fast and difficult. The fairways were beginning to get some green. Nice course for $25.00; 18 holes and cart.

DW went to the Rockhound State Park. She said the trails were steep and difficult. She even got rain before I did. The wind outflow was cold. When the sun was out it was comfortable. Right now we are in a dust storm with sprinkles. The outflow is causing the dust to blow. The rain is somewhere but here. At times the mountains in the distance are totally obscured by the rain and dust.

Dreamcatcher is all gravel with a few trees but no grass. Full hookups with $.10 per kwh electric. Our club rate is $10.00 while the non club rate is $16.00. There is no wifi and no cable. Down the street is wifi and cable for $15.00. Seems the club could do a little price increase and add both. Instead its sell the wifi. I will ask about the cable to see what the answer is. And since they cant sell the wifi, free wifi from the hotels to close, there is non at all. I have a wifi finder that shows no hotel wifi at our space #42. There are several parks here much fuller than this one all offering wifi and cable. I will verify the "all" part.

Gas in Las Cruces was $2.46.9.

Come Monday its off again toward Utah. We got to plan a route.

GPS: 32*16.374, -107*42.683
DW: 130*, 44*, -34*, 48 with a passing 64
Mileage: 340 from Lovington, NM
Temp: 66 for the high, 53 in the rain and dust

We are free to travel

My brother is doing really good. His pneumonia is much better though he still has that cough. He is out and about again.

Our dad had to be taken to the ER Monday with low blood pressure. He was checked in the morning and again a bit later and then by the LPN. His bp was running 80/50. The ambulance was called and the ems got a similar bp so off he went to the er. They did a blood and urine workup and all was ok. After a 10:30 am arrival, he got to leave at 4:30 pm. His bp was back to normal.

His bp yesterday was normal and had a normal for him heart rate. Today he went to see his heart doctor and his followup was good. A change in his rx was made, split it in half and take it 2x a day vs only once. He will have a followup in 3 weeks.

With all that, we dumped tanks and filled up on water today. We do this every five days. We topped of the gas tank and we are ready to go. Gas in this area is $2.59.9. We have 400 miles to use, which is about 3/4 of a tank. This will get us to Deming.

If the weather will cooperate with no rain, we can leave tomorrow am for Deming, NM. Or get as far as we can if it does rain. We can stop in Carlsbad, NM, White City, TX, Hueco Tanks State Park in Texas, near El Paso, Las Cruces, NM or make it to Deming and stay at Dream Catchers.

The weather forecast is not good so I'ts iffy for us to leave till Sunday which is the next sunny day/tank dump day too. And no golf is available with the rain. So date looks like Deming.
