Goodbye to New Mexico

We had to say goodbye to the quail that were always hanging around the cactus by our rig. They were so cute and would walk by the neighbors cat without a care. They knew the cat was on a leash. We are also leaving the Western Grebe (ducks) behind -- they do that cool dance on the water. A pair of them will "walk" on top of the water together. They make a strange noise that sounds like a traffic cop's whistle.

The picture of the two of us was at Sparky's restaurant. I'm just posting this picture to show off our tans. We will probably be loosing those as we head north to the cool spring weather.

We said goodbye to all of the RV'ers we spent the winter with at Lakeside RV park in Elephant Butte. Most are going back next winter. We don't know yet where we will be going for the winter although we were offered jobs if we wanted to stay. Who knows -- if we haven't found a winter job maybe we will go back there and work. It's simple enough work, take reservations and rake up the gravel with a machine to "freshen up" each RV site after the camper leaves.

We will be in Minnesota this week. We've traveled through New Mexico, the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma and then Kansas, Nebraska and now South Dakota. We had to veer north sooner than we planned to avoid some cold, wet weather.

Hope to visit as many friends and relatives as possible during our stay in Minnesota.
