We left the
Grande Vista RV Park a little after 9:00 this morning. For the first time in six months we are out
of Arizona. My jobs while we are
traveling (after we get the Jeep hooked up) is to fetch snacks and drinks and
to document the trip with pictures we can enjoy later. Obviously I am out of practice, tried twice
to get a good picture of the New Mexico sign without any luck.
Despite
being windy we had a good day for travel.
Traffic was pretty light in most places.
We just
drove by White Sands National Monument this year, we visited a few years
back. If you haven’t seen this place and
have the opportunity to go, I recommend you stop. Looks like the sands have taken over the
fence along the interstate.
We are
spending the night at the Boot Hill RV Resort in Alamogordo, NM. This is a really nice place and the Good Sam
rate for a full hookup 50 amp site was just $27.75.
To make this
stop even more exciting McGinn’s PistachioLand is right across the road! Sorry, I shouldn’t make fun, it is a nice
place, and there is free wine, fudge and pistachio tasting. In addition to wine, fudge and pistachios
they have ice cream, cookies and all kinds of souvenirs. Outside is the world’s largest pistachio, a 30
foot monument to the farm’s founder, Thomas McGinn. We walked over so it was a nice way to spend
an hour and get a little exercise.
We found a
nice Pink Moscato I’m sure we will enjoy later.
The Hatch Red Chili Wine is for some of our more adventurous family and
friends to taste when we get home.
