We arrived at the Elks in Alamogordo and got set up.  The Elks here has about 15 sites with full hookups for $15.00.  Here is our site:

This afternoon we headed to Wal-Mart to get our Tracker tire fixed and get supplies.  We did a short stop at the visitor center for information on the area. Since the Elks were not serving tonight, we headed to the local Moose for dinner.  And had a wonderful time meeting the local folks.

Our weather channel just issued an fire weather warning and fire weather watch for our area that lasts thru Tuesday.   Since I had never had one of those alerts we had to look it up.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will create extreme fire growth potential. A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
red flag warnings.

Strong winds ahead – so glad we are staying put for a few days.

Stay tuned for our next adventure.

Miles Traveled:  64 Miles

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSANN!

It's nice to see people still traveling south. So many people we know are heading north. Thanks for sharing

So nice to see people still traveling south. So many are heading north and the weather is still too cold for us.

Hi Denis and Sandy,
We decided to spend time in NM, AZ, UT, and CO until it got really hot and then we would head north...

Safe travels.
