Got away from Brendan’s place around noon, because we had to see his yard and all of the amazing things they’ve done with it! It’s a great place with lots of roses of all types!

Went to PetSmart to get Farid a pet bed, so maybe he would be more comfortable in the car.  Turns out he doesn’t use it and doesn’t seem interested.   

We took a detour to Colossal Caverns to get some of their Prickly Pear Margaritas!

Turns out they use a syrup which we could buy ourselves. We’ll have to check into that.  Put the margaritas into the fridge and got back onto the road.

Hello, New Mexico!

We were planning to stop at Rock Hound Park, but it was just too late.  Maybe some other time.

Called the campground to verify it would be ok for us to arrive late, then finally realized that we would be an hour later due to a time zone change!

Arrived the campground, Western Skys RV Park. The check in was done by the owners son, who didn’t seem to care much.  We get a spot and he told us how to pull in.  I had to call back to get the WiFi password.  They normally charge $2 extra, but just gave it to me, probably because they didn’t want to come back to the office again just to charge me $2!

After sunset the winds have really picked up!  If we were on the road in this, it would be really scary!  Hopefully things settle down by tomorrow morning.

We’re hoping Farid tries out his bed during the night and thus will maybe use it tomorrow in the car.
