The last bath the motor home had was in late October and after driving through dust storms and light rain it was filthy dirty. The car was even dirtier and looked terrible. The park allows washing of vehicles and we took advantage of that to wash both. They look as good as new now that they are sparkling clean. Just as I was finishing up with the motorhome, a fellow camper came over and told me a man comes in the park and washes MHs for $100. So, I saved that amount by doing it with Gerry's help.
No, that little cowboy in the statue is not doing what you think he's doing. He's actually holding two pistols in his holsters with water coming out of them. It's a cute statue located at the beginning of the next site.
The campground has a number of large oak trees and nice shaded campsites. They actually have level pads and that is rare out here in the southwest. The pool isn't that large, but is most welcome on those warm summer days.
We went to Judy & Herb's for dinner and a visit this afternoon. Judy prepared some enchiladas and rice for dinner and they were delicious. We chatted all evening without a break and had a very enjoyable time visiting with them.
They stayed with us last October and joined us in attending the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. We go back to 1983 with them as friends when we all lived in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Judy & Gerry worked at USAID as contract secretaries and I was an Information Management Officer in the US Foreign Service with AID. Herb worked for an oil company and we all left the country in 1986 and have remained friends all these years.

That was our day, how was yours?
Looks like a nice RV park with the trees and such. I guess I was one of those folks that thought the cowboy was going to the bathroom...it even looks like his pants are down around his ankles! Still raining here each day here but we have had some sunshine too. The temps are still below normal but today and Friday are supposed to be close to 80. It is great to have old friends that you share things with or in my case that can verify or not the stories that I tell! Have fun.

Jim got our rig washed and waxed this last week so we should be ready to head out. It's always nice to find a park that will actually let you wash your rig. Doesn't happen often. Love meeting up with old friends and renewing those wonderful friendships.
