DANG NEAR HOME, DEMING, N.M.

So, here we are in Deming, New Mexico, two days drive from San Diego. I'm not sure how long it will take to drive those two days because we tend to spend a lot of time exploring and visiting friends. This years trek is coming to a close, but we are already looking forward to our desert trip to Salton Sea and who knows where in early January through most of February. Hope you are all doing well, and look forward to our next hook-up. Love you all and God Bless....

Good Omen, American Flag at end of the Rainbow

Couldn't help but feeling all cheered up when I went out the door in the morning, here was this beautiful sight. A gorgeous rainbow, and at the end was the American Flag. After all the crap we are going through domestically and abroad, due in large part to our apathy toward American dignity, this Made my day.

Garden spot of Colorado, "Plaza District"

Check out the condition of this sign! It was a harbinger of things to come. The campground we made reservations at, was a ragged old truck machine shop, construction company equipment yard, and behind all the maze and clutter of old truck parts, and excavation equipment, was a weed and gopher hole adorned field with utility pedestals peeking out of the tumble weeds. We could not distinguish the approach to the campsite without walking it first. As it turned out, it was okay, and better than fighting the weather and wind on the highway.

JUST SOUTH OF CHEYENNE

Colorado went by in a whizz. After such a long period in small towns and uncomplicated traffic situations, things changed when we hit Colorado. In one day, driving a 40 foot motor home, towing a Grand Cherokee Jeep, we went through Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. I slept well that night.

HEADED WEST AND SOUTH

The roads in the high plains states, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota are absolutely the best for their condition and structure. You can see the highways forever. They are lightly traveled, four lanes and straight as an arrow.

Land of the Stone Faced Dead Presidents

The weather in Rapid City was not too bad. But bad enough to keep us from doing much sight-seeing. We did manage to make it to Cabella's, a place we always love to tour through.
As cold as it was there, especially at night, there was some guy living in a small 2 person tent, pitched on a field behind a nearby truck stop. We just don't know how good we have it some times.

SNOWY CHRISTMAS TREE REHERSAL

These are some beautiful pines alongside I-90 in Wyoming, South of Gillette. They were dusted with snow, and along with deciduous trees along the rivers and creek beds showing the fall colors of golds, reds, yellows and oranges made for a great view.

OCTOBER SNOW IN WYOMING

After getting our licenses renewed, we left Rapid City, SD, headed west to Wyoming. From Gillette, WY, we headed south to Wheatland, spent two nights, then on through Cheyenne to Colorado. Drove through Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, to Walsenburg, all in one day. We stopped in Walsenburg for two days due to Thunder Storms and high winds. And yes, there was snow in the mountains all the way.

RANCH HOUSE IN SHERIDAN, WY.

Greetings to all you family and friend followers. We are both well and happy. No mechanical problems. Everything is great.
As you will see in the following pics, we have been doing more driving than usual. The short explanation for this excursion from normalsy is, we had to renew our South Dakota drivers licenses, and wanted to get it done and over before the onset of winter in the high plains. After getting our new floor, we drove from Oregon to Idaho, through Wyoming, and on to South Dakota.
