The 2006 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We were driving from Bendelier National Monument to White Rock,NM for lunch when we came upon this. It was near a fenced in government area. There was only one dish and it was set back away from the road. We are near Los Alamos, NM so I would guess these are related.
The next pictures are along NM4 and have alot to due with us and nature. This is the results of a forest fire. The area we are in has posted "extreme" fire conditions. There no fires of anykind allowed. Smoking is not allowed at any of the national areas we have been to so far. Sure glad I dont smoke.


We will post the Bandelier area later. Today, DW is at the laundry, we have a DR appointment at the Santa Fe VA clinic and we are going to get some fresh veggies and fruit at the store. The Walmart here is not a supercenter. We are atleast 41 miles to a store one way. So we plan a store stop on our day trips to take advantage of the gas. And if we can, movie time at the theatre.

Edit 3:25 pm- we are back from the DR and the store. I have a staphy infection on the leg incession. The DR gave me a Rx for antibotics. We got our veggies and fruits at Smiths by the VA clinic.

We try to post daily even if we have no photos for you to see. We have been to everything close by and we will be moving north of here to another COE park probably tuesday. We are paid, $6.00/day, for 14 days here. Pretty darn cheap for water and elec and a dump station. we went over our budget for last month of @1200.00 by about $300.00. Most of that was for gas to get here from Pecos, TX. We have a full tank in the RV and use the car for our trips. Look back at the mileage this trip took. We will be doing more of the same when we move. We are planning on seeing Red River, Taos, Angel Fire and surrounding area the 14 days we are there. From there we are planing on going toward Aztec, NM. We have not made any further plans after that.

This will give you an idea of where we are going in the weeks ahead. As always, our location is shown by our GPS location on "Where WE are now" link. And do look at all the photos in our photo link. We have nearly 70 total photos posted.

Its 66, cloudy with possible showers.

For May:
RV mileage- 673
Car mileage- 1106
