We are at Holloman AFB near Alamogordo in SW New Mexico. Lots of beach sand but the water is missing. Yesterday we spent the day doing chores, I worked on a few projects outside and BJ spent the whole day cleaning and scrubbing the inside. Took down the front curtains and carried them to the dry cleaners. Today we were looking forward to enjoying the area, maybe a trip to White Sands National Monument (more beach) or Cloudcroft, a mountain retreat in the nearby Sacramento mountains. Also, there is an Air & Space Museum in Alamogordo we want to visit. The morning was bright and sunny so I got out Trikke and was headed out to a cook on-base bike path when I noted it was windy and when I turned a corner so I was heading into the wind it was like a brick wall! So I turned around and went back to the RV.
The wind only got worse as the day wore on - you could see the sand blowing. The beach on the move! Of course sand comes through the door, the windows and layers around. Worse it was getting colder and colder. High for next two days is in the high 50's - low 60's range rather then the mid-70's to low 80's we have been experiencing. Hopefully those will be back by weekend!
If not we will be moving on into winter quarters in AZ soon!!
Always at home, no matter where we are!!
