The Day After……

Day 76 – Do you remember when you were a child and the day after Christmas was always a letdown? Now as adults, there’s this buildup, this crazy running around trying to get everything done, then boom – it’s over. Well, in a different way for us, today is a letdown compared to yesterday’s wonderful wildlife watching. The wind is back, the dust is flying, and we’re inside catching up on things, preparing to leave here early tomorrow to get over the pass going west from Roswell. The wind will be worse tomorrow afternoon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS; HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Day 75 – We had a good day today. We hope your day was good, too! We are writing today’s post a day late; we were busy all day yesterday, as you will see. The wind had died down and it was a very nice day, perfect for scenic driving at the wildlife refuge. Although it did cloud up a bit, that was part of the scenery. The high was 71 degrees.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE, EVERYONE!

Day 74 – It was 38 degrees this morning with some wind. We are celebrating Christmas Eve with a wind storm today. The wind is supposed to peak this afternoon then drop rapidly back down. That’s what has been happening here with the temperatures, too. As soon as the sun goes down, the temperatures go down quickly.

A RELAXING DAY.

Day 73 – It was 35 degrees this morning and partly cloudy when we got up. We stayed around the campsite all day. We caught up on some things – it’s so easy to get behind – baked a loaf of bread & made egg salad, Rob got some parts ordered for upcoming RV work he wants to do, etc. We had an appointment here at the campsite to have the Honda’s windshield repaired. The crack was too long, so they replaced the windshield. The high today was 78 degrees with full sun and a breeze later in the day.

TRAVEL DAY

From: Oasis State Park, Portales, NM.

To: Bottomless Lakes State Park, Roswell, NM – Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

Day 72 – It was up to 35 degrees this morning, sunny and no wind. We had some errands to run before arriving at our next destination, so we left Oasis State Park earlier than we usually leave when traveling, a little after 9 a.m.
