Sunday/ Monday /Tuesday 2/25-27 The schooner is off Bill, powered-up, and fully functional. May have to reload propane before i leave. Switched the refrigerator over to AC and it seems to functioning correctly. So i have 120v power plus the batteries are being charged and maintained. The schooner is very stable and using the front…

Saturday 2/24 The sun is struggling to get thru the clouds and winning at times. 66 this morning! Lots of road less traveled today. Should be historical site overload. The plan: get to Uncle J in a somewhat timely fashion. Lots to see, lots of historical sites. First 40 miles or so “Ranch Road” 40-45…

Friday 2/23 Overcast, misty morning but the wind isn’t blowing and it’s about 48. Acceptable. The plan is to walk up to HDQTR and wifi and resend Uncle J a email, walk back down to the bathrooms and shower then walk back up to see if he got it. Check the washroom on the way…

Thursday 2/22 Going into virgin country today. It’s overcast, 38. There was a sign for Pecos River access about a mile before the CG turnoff. I back track and head south towards Mexico. I’m always a little more heads up when close to the border. Not much, but more. No worries, the road ends at…

Wednesday 2/21 Sunny morning with the valley bottom foggy. No movie last night. Sat outside and watched the stars. Saw my first shooting star of this trip. It was a streaker across the sky. My star recognization is getting better. A nice app certainly helps. I have “Star Walk” from the apple store. Sort of…

Tuesday 2/20 Day breaks about 7:10 or so. I laid in bed till 8:10. No big plans, do some homey stuff, do some dishes, maybe drive to Rio Grande Village and take in the sights. A bit of traffic, both coming and going this morning. The schooner is getting to be in ship shape condition.…

Monday 2/19 Interesting evening last night. The clouds to the southeast were lite up for a couple of hours during a lightning storm but no sound…no aids in, but thunder is in my hearing range. Had to be 100s of miles away. No bolts to see, too cloudy for them, but the sky would lite…

Sunday 2/18 It showered for a little bit last night. Maybe 10 minutes. There is a fresh smell in the air. It will be interesting to see if things quiet down today. Been a lot of traffic (relatively speaking). Lots of younger people with mountain bikes. A few motorcycles. Now here is a traveler’s observation:…

Saturday 2/17 Gosh, over a month on the road today. I have reread January’s posts. Not enough adventure. Not enough golf. Oh well, I’ll try harder to have fun. This morning dawns bright and chilly. 56. I had to put on long pants and a heavy shirt. No heater tho. I have been sleeping with…

Friday 2/16 Nice sunrise this morning but i was too cozy to get up and take a picture. 63 this morning, which beats the tar out of 28. Cleanup day. Driving around on these dirt roads, even with all the windows closed, leaves a layer of dust on everything. So sweep, dust and shake out…
