NM rally in Las Cruces was a big success with 52 rigs attending. Pet Parade seemed to be a big hit as well. Got the Excel and truck washed/waxed for $227 at the site. Staff at Hacienda were very friendly and accomodating. Gave my pistol and ammo to Ralph to hold for me as we plan to be in Canada in the next month or so. Mac highly recommended I not take it. Curbside propane tank isn't working for some reason...acts like it's empty but it's not. Andele's catering was real good and members seemed to like it. Gave away lots of raffle gifts, door prizes, and 50/50 cash. Met Ted Wheelis...Sandia manager and Mike and Martha's ex-boss.
Left Hacienda on Monday morning and drove to Raton Pass. Spent two nights at Cedar Rail RV Park at NM Colorado border. Spent Tuesday exploring Trinidad as best we could. I-25 construction has been going on for over 2 years in the area. Weather Monday night was windy and near freezing. Tuesday was windy but warmer. Tuesday 04/27 was my birthday.
Weather forecast was for really high winds on Wednesday so we left early for Colorado City to join up with the Colorado Excel Club members. Arrived at KOA about 9am just as winds were picking up. First night we're having 60-70 MPH gusts with 5th wheel bouncing around a bit but not Urbano winds by any stretch. Some members are keeping their slides in tonight to reduce their footprint. Can't go outside very easily with the wind. Had dinner at Max restaurant with about 15 of the Colorado members...pretty decent food and I bought Joy's dinner. Diesel is costing $2.89-$3.14 per gallon. Curbside propane tank is now working for some reason...maybe the changeover valve was stuck? Made reservations for 4 nights at Chatfield SP near Emmy's house in Denver starting 05/03.
Haven't taken any pictures yet...been too windy for now. JWS
