Today we got a taste of winter it started out cold and beautiful when we left Roswell, but w could already see the dark clouds ahead of us. Half-way to Vaughn on 380 is started raining, snowing and soon turned into sleet, which was very nasty. At about 1300 we arrived in ABQ; finding the right RV park was a challenge the first one we loked at was a total dive and we pulled right of there. So since we were close to Shawn’s apartment we called him and picked him up on our way to park #2. It sure was good to see my Boy again, it’s been 10 months since I last seen him and I realized how much I had missed him as soon as I got to hug him. His hair is all long, and everybody knows I don’t like all his piercings on his face it was still grand to see and hug him.
We are now staying in the KOA RV park, it is very nice and we have a wonderful view of the Sandia Mountains which have snow on them.

Stopped in Breckenridge, TX at the L&L family restaurant for breakfast. It was delicious, we will stop here anytime if we come back this way.
At 4PM we just past the New Mexico state line. It has been a long day so far, but Larry wants to go another 100 miles to Roswell. I’m worried that he is pushing himself too hard. The landscape around here is, to say it mildly, boring as hell. Cottonfields as far as the eye can see. If I had to live here would go absolutely mad. Today was also my first day of pulling this monstor of a trailer and to my surprise it wasn’t all that hard, but there was also no traffic until we pulled into Roswell and tried to find a Wal-Mart up and down Main st.
Hahaha! But here we are back in a Wal-Mart parking lot and it looks like a small RV park there are at least 5 rigs with their slides out. That was kind of surprising to say the least how folks set up here. One guy looks like hes going to stay a while. Not us, we will blow this town in the morning. Can’t wait to see my Boy some-times tomorrow. <3
P.S. (edit by Larry) There was also the bank parking incident where Sigrid ran over curbs and then drug a tree down part of Main st. First learning curve haha!

Spent the night in Weatherfor, TX. We had a uneventful day of traveling - which was a good thing, after the day from hell on Monday.

We finally made it out of Petal, MS. It took us a little longer then we expected when we first got there. So OK, it took us a about 6 years longer but we made it. Larry is laughing, “made it to where?” Monroe, LA Ha, ha, ha.
This has not been a very good day at all, it started with our hitch not co-operating, we eventually got the trailer hooked up and got on the way after 10AM - way too late. Then our electric cord that hooks into the truck kept coming undone which meant we had no break lights or blinkers so we had to make frequent stops and hook it up again. And if that was not enough our check engine light came on and stayed on for the rest of the day. Of course that made us just a bit nervous. We stopped for gas in Monroe and Larry met a man named Harold who told us bout this RV Park where h and his wife Alberta were staying, so Larry and I decided since it was already 4PM by then to follow him to Shiloh RV Park. What a great decision.
Once we had the trailer unhooked our check engine light went off and we had a very good and informative visit with Harold and Alberta. After a good meal at Copeland’s we are looking forward to a relaxing evening and a good night sleep. Tomorrow will be better!
