Hi Peoples, We are in Carlsbad, New Mexico to see the Carlsbad Caverns. It was mainly smooth getting here. We left Saturday night at 10pm, slept at Wallmart for a few of hours, I got up at 3:30am. We had breakfast in Phoenix at the Waffle House and arrived in Las Crucas, New Mexico at 7pm. We had traveled 755 miles in one day! (we got 13 mpg and gas in Phoenix was $2.49 for diesel) We were ready to relax and go to bed, but Noooo. Our electrical system was shorting out and crashing. We tried to move to another spot, but our electric slide would not shut. We were stuck without air conditioning and a broken slide that would not close. All the people in the RV campground tried to help us. Got to bed late and hot, no AC. The girls were good sports. Lucky for us, there was a big RV service center next to our campground. John came out and
in an hour had the short circuit fixed and had the slide working. So stoked! Back on the road to Carlsbad. We arrived at 4pm. We went straight to the pool and did cannon balls. KOA campground had a great BBQ going, we had brisket with all the fixin's. Next we went to the famous "Bat Cave." The cave is classic, big and scary. At sundown, the bats start flying out. It seemed like an endless amount of bats flowing out in a whirlpool and whipping out to get bugs. On our way h
ome, there were Tarantulas cruising around our campground. The girls named Joy's parents jeep, Harry. Lloyd and Harry are from the non-Oscar nominated film, Dumb & Dumber.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteOMG.... I hope once you get the kinks ironed out with Lloyd it will be smooth sailing the rest of your trip. It's funny with trips...20 years from now those blunders are what you will look back on and laugh about.
We missed seeing you on Father's Day at Wayne and Lexi's. Grandpa George looked well rested after his long cruise. Our big news here is Mike got his driver's license yesterday. Looking forward to more of your posts !
Love to all, Aunt Bonnie
Sounds like you're having a great time (well, with the exception of the technical difficulties). I liked reading what the girls wrote. So funny. I'm scared of bats and tarantulas so I probably wouldn't like the caverns so much. Joy...did you hear that Susan is coming back and will bump Kathy out of her job? So next year we won't have Julie, Kathy or Rhonda! So many changes...
ReplyDeleteWow so this is the Rockies?
ReplyDeleteYeah that John Denver is really full of s-t
Man I love that you named your camper/jeep after dumb and dumber. It might be the most awesome thing ever. Have a great trip!
