Santa Fe Skies

Been a couple of weeks since posting anything about our travels.   At our RV Park in Gallup,NM, we met an extremely nice couple who unbeknownst to us, were camped next to us in Williams, AZ also.
Anyway, we were together in Gallup and decided to follow them to Santa Fe.  (Hey, we have no schedule remember).  Thank you Lenore and Rick.  You made a huge impact.  One of the bests days was our glass blowing day.  What fun.

Needless to say, Katie had fun.  Because of her, I decided to also "blow some glass."  She made a beautiful vase and I made a Seahawks colored paperwork.  Our friends each made something as well. Her a Chili, and him a paperweight as well.  (Remember, we live in a 420sf home now).

 

Other than some limited time downtown and walking around, we didn't venture far.  Mostly because of the weather and wind.  And also, cuz it kinda felt good just hanging around the trailer.

 

And then it happened!  SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!  We woke up one morning to this.  Not a big snow by any imagination.  But please remember, we were swimming a month earlier in Pahrump, NV.  It was mostly melted by noon, but nonetheless, very pretty.

Also in our park was a Newell Motorcoach Ralley.  If youre not familiar with these behemoths, they range from one to two million dollars and are pampered by their owners.  At one time, there were nineteen of these bad boys in the park.

Here's two of them back to back.

They really are pretty, but cant see spending that kind of money on a "Camper".  One that we remember was about 46ft towing three axle trailer painted the same as the coach.  Out of that trailer rolled a huge Harley Davidson and a very beautiful and shiny Porsche Carerra Convertible.  You should've seen them all scurry when it started snowing and raining.  Gotta love men and their toys though.

 

Another great part of Santa Fe though is the beautiful scenery.  The park we were at had a pretty distinctive 360 degree view of the entire Santa Fe and mountainous area.  So as you may imagine, the nighttime skies were impressive.

 

 These were all taken with my phone, no touching up here.

Well, when we left, the forecast was for more snow and high winds.  The morning we left, it was 39 deg and overcast.  Just out of town on I25 we met snow and sleet.  The winds were about 25 to 35 MPH all the way here to Roswell.  At one point, we stopped in a small town cuz I'm a big sis when it comes to that kind of cross wind.  As we then moved on down the road at about 40 MPH, the wind got behind us and as you can imagine, the gas mileage was fantastic.  I'll save that for another time.  Until then, later from Abby's Road Trip.
