RUH ROH !!!

The day started out great! We got on the road by 7:30 a.m., whizzed through Santa Fe, on through Albuquerque...... 

................and then.............

DB: Ok the hub cap's off, am I done yet??

 *****

It was a delay of about an hour and a half before we got BACK on the road again! The inside dually tire was FLAT FLAT FLAT. I saw what looked like a "twig" fly across the road outside of Albuquerque and didn't learn until later that the valve stem came out of the tire. (

Did I need to call our roadside assistance?  DB: "Nah! I'll fix it ......"    :-) 





And fix it he did!  (Can you hear Willie Nelson singing, 'On the Road Again.....'
  

                                             and this................... 

Rattlesnakes? Seriously? At a Rest Area entrance to the bathrooms? Seriously?

 ********

Well, we arrived in Hatch, NM about 2:30 or so and refueled. 

Saw these precious horses and had to take a picture for LORNA!

We then arrived in Deming (our day's destination) about 4:00 p.m.

Made a stop at Walmart. THIS was in the parking lot. Some rockhounding vehicle, huh??

We are glad we are here and will probably stay a couple of nights. This is a nice RV Park and very good rates!!
Since Deming is the "Rock Hound Capitol of the World," I think DB deserves a 2 night stay .... or 3 or 4 or 6, after that tire fiasco today!
