Once across the New Mexico state line, you are in Mountain time and back your watch up an hour.. So that will make sunrise more 6 o'clockish... I drove to Tucucumcari, and filled up with Diesel at the cheaper Nm prices... $3.78...
I stopped for lunch at a McDonalds in Santa Rosa, where there is a big truck parking lot next to the restaurant... It helps to know these things from previous trips... But the parking lot is dirty from people casting out their trash...
And since I need to find a urgent care to get my little surgery bandage changed, I decided to stop in Albuquerque.. The American RV park is right along the side of the interstate and as noisy as all heck..
But then it is very convenient because it is right beside the interstate... Last night it was the trains that run past the front of the RV park... I will run the AC blower along with the heater which will cover some of the truck noise...
I took two nights here as that will lessen the urgency of completing the bandage change in order to get back on the road... It matters not when I arrive in Arizona....
I feel kind of like Tioga George.... Let's see, Allegro Rod........? I can talk to Biscuit, but she doesn't answer back much..... Oh, she got a bath this morning before we left Texas... She really wasn't expecting that.... Not sure she has ever had a bath in the shower floor of the motorhome...
If I changed my name to Allegro Rod, what would happen if I traded motorhomes..... Nah..... better just stay......
Retired Rod
okay that answers that question. Biscuit is with you. Yes just stay with Retired Rod. Travel Safe. Gald to hear you are taking care of your wound
ReplyDeleteIf we traded motorhomes, it would be for another Tiffin Allegro Bus! We have been very happy with this baby! So, go ahead, be Allegro Rod. In our opinion, Tiffins cannot be beat!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know Biscuit is with you. I did wonder about that. Take good care of you both! Look forward to going along with you.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and we like "Retired Rod" just fine!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Biscuit is along to take care of you. Good luck with the place you go to have your bandage changed. Hope it's a lot faster than some of the DMV places you've been too.
ReplyDeleteI performed a sneek attack on my two pups today too, there just comes the time it HAS got to be done!!! Stinky, stinky!!! Looks like you are making good time.. drive safe....
ReplyDeleteI vote for "Retired Rod" too, and I'm glad you are taking care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteBisquit might not talk back, but I'll bet she's good company for you.
ReplyDeleteI like Retired Rod. So that's my vote. Glad you're taking the time to get the dressing changed. For not being able to talk, our pups sure can communicate. Has Biscuit forgiven you yet?
ReplyDeleteHow about Wandering Rod, Rod/Biscuit Bunch, Tales of Rod, Rod's Travels, Travel with Rod. Nah, Retired Rod works.
ReplyDeleteWe stayed at the American RV Park last January on our way to Apache Junction. We liked it as it was clean, handy, had a free breakfast and Camping World was across the street.
ReplyDeleteI had lost your blog right after Loyce had passed away. I felt a kinship with you and Loyce as we are from KCK, and still have a son living in Lenexa. Graduated from Wyandotte high school. I am so sorry for the loss of Loyce and so glad that you are keeping on keeping on!
