December 29, 2016 - The Roswell Incident

We drove through Roswell, New Mexico on our way down to Carlsbad Caverns. Roswell is very proud of their alien heritage dating back to "The Incident" in 1947 when some people say that merely a weather balloon crashed, but others swear it was a conspiracy covering up the crash of an UFO space craft. 

December 28, 2016 - Almost Up, Up and Away

My favorite event in Reno is the annual hot air balloon races. Albuquerque is home to I think the largest balloon festival in the U.S. Would love to be here sometime for it, but in lieu of the race they have a fabulous museum on the history of ballooning. Here are two of my favorite people waiting to be lifted into the air. 

December 20, 2016 - Christmas Break

It's almost Christmas and time for a short break from RVing. We parked Scoop at the Enchanted Trails RV Park just outside Albuquerque. winterized her for the sub-freezing temps of the high desert then headed over to stay with Denis' Uncle David and his squeeze, Carol. We stayed with them for just a couple days before flying back to Reno to spend the holiday with Mom and Dad.

The Enchanted Trails RV park was a step back in time. A whole group of RVer's here were staying in some lovingly refurbished retro trailers.

Dave and Carol took us to some beautiful spots around Albuquerque. Loved the southwestern food here.
