We are at an RV park in Elephant Butte, NM. We planned on spending a week but have extended our stay. We had some routine maintenance done on the RV. The maintenance part was done quickly but then I asked the repair guy to check under the rig for any damage that a packrat might have done. We had a packrat while at the refuge. He got in under the undercarriage and could have chewed on wires, etc. Well, no damage from the rat was seen but he did discover a crack in one of our holding tanks. Its bad enough that we need the tank replaced immediately so here we sit in New Mexico. We figure its a mixed blessing having to sit here for a few extra days. Its a bummer that we have to have something fixed but its good to be staying where its warm for a few more days.
We stayed here in Elephant Butte our first winter. Elephant Butte Lake had a lot more water in it the last time we were here and they tell us the water has come way up since October. The mighty Rio Grande -- you can see the trickle of it on the left side of the dam- isn't looking so mighty. Its still better than seeing white stuff on the ground and ice!
