We took time this morning to absorb the view from our campsite at Lake Cochiti one last time – the prettiest view campsite we’ve ever had – want to store it in our memories. We walked around the camping loop before we left around 9 am – there was blue sky, sun and no wind but the temperature was 36 degrees! We saw a family with several small children, camping in a “pop up,” eating breakfast out on their picnic table! Hardy folks!
We met two couples, parked across from us, on their way home to Oregon and Canada. They winter on the beach in Mexico. They love it but, didn’t convince us that all the inconveniences are worth it. It is not cheaper than many places in the states and running water, electricity and services such as internet and cell phones are “iffy.” Not to mention safety. Guess we like our creature comforts too much plus, could not do without SKYPE to see the grandkids!
I had my maiden voyage driving the new motorhome today. IH-25 between Albuquerque and Truth of Consequences is straight, smooth and with little traffic. A perfect place for me to practice. Driving it was a dream but I need to learn how all the systems work – air brakes, exhaust brakes etc. Roger took over again before we got to town.
T or C used to be called Hot Springs because of many natural hot springs in the area. The townspeople changed the name, in 1950, to Truth or Consequences, after a radio show that was broadcast here. Go figure! We will stay here for three days to do laundry and explore and then move on toward Tucson. I like it already – temperature 79!
