ON THE ROAD AGAIN

LEAVING OKLAHOMA    Yes, we have given up the comfort of living in a stick home to go on the road in our RV again.  We enjoyed this lifestyle for five years and decided it was time to settle in.  It was a good idea but boring.  It became pretty apparent that in today's economy, that we could not support the stick home and be RVer's in the same space and time.  Since time is getting shorter, we decided to sell the house and head out in the RV.

FIRST DAY ON THE ROAD we found ourselves in Caprock Canyon State Park located in the Texas panhandle.  It is an amazing place.  A home for the largest herd of Bison in the state of Texas.  The park is suffering from the extended drought, as is all of western Oklahoma and Eastern Texas.  It was not a bargain for us as we did not have a Texas CampCard.  The space was quiet and the park was almost full.  Lots of foreign travelers were parked in the campground.

SECOND DAY we ambled into Fort Sumner, Texas.  This is where Billy the Kid met his waterloo.  We visited the museum, grave, and learned about the amazing history of this part of Texas.  It was very interesting.

THIRD DAY we felt we should donate to an Indian tribe.  We stayed in a great park west of Albuquerque, Sky City Casino, Hotel, and RV park.  It really got cold in the night.  Boo Boo, the cat was cuddled up against us in the night.  Herb had to get up and turn the heat on.  The food at the casino was great.  The winnings were not so memorable.

TODAY  We are revisiting Williams, Arizona.  Back at a familiar campground.  Canyon Gateway RV Park.  It sits on a bluff with a panoramic view of the valley below.  It is a short drive to the Grand Canyon, but we went there last time, so we will continue on toward Nevada.  More to Come.  Cindy, Herb, and Boo too
