Today was a short drive compared to the previous two days. We drove 240 miles from Las Cruces to Albuquerque. The last 15 minutes of the drive was completely different than the previous four hours. The entire drive north was another day of clear skies and reasonable temperatures. As we approached the city we could see low hanging storm clouds and it started getting very windy. The winds were gusting to 40 mph + and then it started to rain. Then the rain changed to snow.
We arrived at our RV Park and were assigned a spot in the far northwest corner, the outside row. The storm is coming out of the northwest. Well, as I’m writing this the wind has died down and it’s not snowing. It is supposed to get cold tonight, 27 degrees. I think everything will be OK.
Did I tell you we had made an agreement that we wouldn’t stay any place where the temperature gets below 32? Well, I guess this will be the exception.
Just in case you don’t know why we are in Albuquerque, it’s because there is an FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) Rally here next Monday thru Thursday. We registered in January and were then told to arrive Saturday between 8:00 – 12:00 to get parked. We will be at Balloon Fiesta Park which can hold 1,000+ motor homes. The park will be full and, therefore, they have to schedule when people arrive. Monday – Thursday will be seminars, exhibits, and entertainment. You can go to seminars of Cummins engines and rubber-stamp greeting cards. I need to know as much as possible about maintaining the motor home. On the last night, they will have illuminated hot air balloon ascensions after dark. That should be a photo opportunity.
Since we are two days early, we called Mimi and Khalil Kingsbury who now live in Santa Fe. We’re driving to their home tomorrow and will spent the night and return to Albuquerque on Sunday. We haven’t seen the Kingsbury’s for years! We are really looking forward to seeing them.
