Day 15 Elephant Butte State Park, NM

 Albuquerque is in the rear view mirror but to finish up with the ongoing saga about the fridge we got it installed yesterday at Rocky Mountain RV in Albuquerque located about a 2 minute drive from the KOA. The people there first heard from us on Friday morning calling from the road in Texas and 1 business day later in was all installed and working perfectly, we decided to change the name of out Navion from Janis to Max, with Janis we had one problem after another and it was just wrong, Max is the little dog from Secret Life of Pets, he is about 6 “ tall and rides on our dash everyday, Willow and I thought it would be good to take him on the trip so Max it is. We neglected to take any campsite pick there but it was a great campground with hot clean showers, laundry and power. 

We headed south this morning and we are at Elephant Butte State Park, an enormous lake that was built from the Rio Grand being captured and so far it’s ok, it is supposed to have “free WiFi” but after 30 free minutes it costs $3.00/hr or $8.00/ 24 hrs etc that is a major ah I don’t think so moment so we are using our own hotspot.  All the sites in this section are on a slight hill so we had to dig out the leveling blocks for the first time, and all of the real bathrooms with showers here are closed luckily we have bathroom of our own. It is only 1 night.


Route 66 The Musical Road


We took a ride yesterday and found the Musical Road  and if you drive in exactly the rite spot on the road you will hear America The Beautiful played on the rubble strips, you can look it up it’s very cool.
