Debbie decided that there really wasn’t any reason to hang around the house, so we decided to take off this morning to start our first trip this year out west. We had everything ready, …so why not? Our plan is to work our way over to Las Vegas to meet up with friends and bowl in the USBC Open Championship. Then, we are going to make a run up to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks before coming back home near the end of the month.
We pulled out this morning with the intention of making a one night stopover in Hobbs, NM. Debbie located a really nice city park with full hookups for only $14. But when we got there about 3:30, all of the dozen or so spaces were already occupied. With just about every RV park in this part of the county being filled with oil field workers, there weren’t many options. Since we were going to pass through Carlsbad tomorrow on our way farther west, Debbie got on the phone and found us a space at the KOA in Carlsbad. Obviously in this area it’s pretty flat and open, so it’s not an overly pretty campground. But, it’ll do for this evening.
Tomorrow we’re off to Guadalupe Mountains National Park for a couple of days.
