Day 10 we spent last night in Truth or Consequences NM and it got down to 23F and it was very cold, the kind of cold where you are so tensed up you can’t sleep, I now know why they used to wear nightcaps to bed. We stayed at Caballo Lake State Park, the lake was beautiful and the sites were adequate with a fire ring and large picnic table surrounded by gravel. It was nearly full and this morning everybody slept in as check out time was at 2:00 much later than usual. We had water and electric and when the sun goes down we were inside with the shades drawn. I decided to try my new Omnia over it’s a Swedish oven that is round and has a hole in the middle and sits directly on the burner. We made cornbread (Jiffy mix) and one of John’s favorites, to go with it I made chicken soup from scratch, there’s not allot to do in the camper when it’s cold out so I was glad to have a project. After dinner we attempted to watch a movie from the bedroom but in thes motor home the only speakers are all in the lounge area and you have to turn it pretty loud to hear it so we gave up.
Today we drove about 170 miles north to Albuquerque to a KOA on Route 66 3 minutes from the RV service people. The elevation here is about 5500’ and I dare say it is much warmer in NH! Tonight is expected to reach a low of 20 and the campground asks you not to leave your hose connected. We booked 2 nights here in case they don’t get the fridge installed tomorrow as it’s coming from Dallas. We are still averaging 14.5 mpg, not great but it it what it is.
Today we bought a small space heater for when we have shore power to save on propane so that should help tonight.
Too cold!!! Warmer days ahead!
