Glee and RV Travel

There is a television program called Glee that does one thing (and perhaps only one thing, aside from try to pass off attractive 20 somethings as teens) really, really well. They get you caught up on what you missed in about 14 seconds before launching directly into the next episode. So in proper Glee fashion I’m going to tell you about what we’ve done between Big Bend National Park and Mesa Verde National Park. Here goes:

  • Spent way too much time in West Texas oil towns including an overnight stay at a truck stop
  • Got the truck serviced
  • Two days of down time at Guadeloupe National Park
  • A day at Carlsbad Caverns National Park
  • Had some quick warranty service performed on the RV
  • Enjoyed several days in Roswell, New Mexico restocking our pantry, doing laundry, looking for aliens, getting good haircuts at the local cosmetology school, and dodging tornados
  • Spent 36 hours in Albuquerque including visits to Trader Joes, REI, the residence of Walt and Skyler White (Google it if you don’t know Walt and Skyler), and the Sandia Casio where we spent the night in their parking lot
  • Ate overpriced corndogs at a roadside fair and spent yet another night in a Wal-Mart parking lot
  • Decided NOT to go into Colorado as planned due to cold temps and snow so spent an extra couple days at a lovely New Mexico State Park at Navajo Dam
  • Cussed at a broken water pump until it complied
  • Took a quick day trip into Durango, Colorado and nearly applied for a job at Fort Lewis College
