On
Wednesday afternoon, the 27th, we left the main Elephant Butte area and drove north
looking for some of the other camping areas. Besides the area we were in, the
are a dozen more camping areas in the EB State Park. The ones we came across
we're very rustic. The dirt access roads were marginal looking and should be
investigated with a car before trying
with a camper. We wound up at the South
Monticello Point campground. Water/electric sites for $14/night. We camped
right next to Ken. The lake in this area is really low. The only water is in a
rather narrow channel on the far side of the lake. The boat ramp is closed.
On
Thursday we continued north. Stopped in Soccoro for a WalMart run then on to
ABQ. Picked up some goodies at the Trader Joe's then went to the Sandia Casino
where we spent the night. We didn't go
inside the casino but did fill up with some Indian gas for $3.17/gal. The
cheapest gas we've come across in quite sometime.
Not as nice as Elephant Butte |
Friday we
drove to Trinidad, CO and stayed at the WalMart for the night.
On
Saturday we continued to Monument to have lunch with our friends John and Linda continued on to Longmont; our new home.
We
arrived in Longmont on March 2nd at 2:30pm. 2,708 miles from our old home in
Fort Pierce, FL to our new home in Longmont. A wonderfully, uneventful trip. No
mechanical problems, no wrecks, no major traffic tie-ups. Just perfect.
First
thing, Gopher and I took a walk around our new neighborhood then I drove Carol
around. The house is locked up but we
got our first look at the outside.
We'll
meet with Becky the sales lady, on Tuesday or so.
We are so glad to be here.
