Finding a Place to Stay for Two Weeks

June 15, 2022 In looking for our next place to stay after the Fort Worth area, we checked out COE (Corp of Engineers) campgrounds. They are nice campgrounds along bodies of water.

Touring a Pistachio Ranch

June 10, 2022 While in Alamogordo, NM, I wanted to tour a pistachio grove, but I didn’t want to walk on my sore ankle. I noticed Pistachio Land had open air tour buses. I felt I could easily do a sitting tour. So on Wednesday, we walked over to Pistachio Land since it was just […]

June 7, 2022 While my ankle is still sore and swollen, I still want to get out and see things. I really wanted to see the White Sands National Park. Bruce drove the truck to the Visitor Center and parked. It was about a 30 minute drive from the RV park to the Visitor Center. […]

The Heart of the Desert

June 7, 2022 I thought you might enjoy seeing the view from the kitchen on the utilities side taken Sunday evening. Sunday night, as Bruce was taking Nox for a walk, he called back into the RV to let me know there was a beautiful sunset. I sat on the steps of the RV and […]

A Couple of Parks in Hays, KS

May 25, 2022 While we were in Hays, KS, last week, I planned to go to the Fort Hays State Historical Site. We got there too late and the buildings were closed. The name Frontier Historical Park sounded interesting and it was across the highway from the Fort Hays State Historical Site. I saw it […]
