This morning we woke to rain again, but this is Washington so I guess we should expect it. The rain made it chilly in the rig so we had to put the heat on to take the chill out.

Once we were up and moving around we heard a loud boom. We thought it was fireworks until I discovered the washing machine wasn't running. Apparently the park had a blown transformer.

We made a trip to Target to get Casen something for his birthday. I also stopped at the local market to get some things so I could make my favorite Aunt dinner. I also picked up a flat that had 2 pintss of strawberries and 2 pints of raspberries....they tasted so good, we will be stopping to pick up some more before we leave in the morning. 

This afternoon was the best afternoon EVER. Ernie took me over to my Aunt's house and he came back to the motor home to wait for the electric to come back on so he could turn the breakers back on. I spent the best afternoon with this very special lady. I know that we are in the middle of a pandemic but we were both okay to be close. We talked all afternoon and then I made my favorite meatloaf for her, Ernie and Casen. We had some yummy chocolate desert and spent most of the evening talking. I love this woman so much it was really hard to say goodbye!! 😢

Tomorrow we have a 5+ hour drive to Vancouver to spend time with Eric and Jessica and family. We are looking forward to spending time with them and the boys.

Carlsbad Caverns, NM - 2024

Our next stop was Carlsbad Caverns. We arrived late Friday afternoon after stopping to check out Gaudalupe Mountains National Park.  We had reservations for a tour Saturday morning. On our drive out to the Cave we saw some barbary sheep. These are non-native originally from North Africa and first appeared in 1959. It is thought that the herd probably escaped from a private ranch in the Hondo Valley of New Mexico. We toured Carlsbad Caverns in the spring of 2021 and enjoyed it just as much the second time. There are so many different formations. The Natural Entrance The walkway down into the cavern. There are so many different formations. One thing we didn't get a chance to do in 2021 is watch the bats fly out of the cavern at dusk so we made sure to see it this time. The park has 17 different bat species however, the large colony of Brazilian free-tailed bats are what wow the visitors every evening from spring through fall with their outflights. The best way I found to get a still ...

  From the Grand Tetons, we stayed a night at Hill AFB Famcamp, Ogden, UT, a night at a Love's RV Stop in Filmore, UT and a night at Desert Eagle Famcamp, Las Vegas. From there we headed to Arizona and stayed 5 nights at Saguaro Skies, Luke AFB in Glendale. I was really happy to see my best friend and spend time with her. We had lunch at a newer restaurant called Stillery. The food was really good and so was the atmosphere.  From there we headed south and stayed at Boneyard Vista, Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson for a few nights. We had brunch with our friends Jeff and Louise and spent a few hours catching up with them. Our next stop was White Sands Missile Range Famcamp in White Sands NM.  A view of our RV and the San Andres Mountains We visited the museum which was really deep in history.
