May 21 After driving six hours from Taos, New Mexico and settling in at our RV park I turned my attention to the Petrified Forest National Park. I have to admit I didn’t know anything about it beyond the fact that ancient trees had been turned into rocks, that’s all I knew. It turns out … More Petrified Forest National Park and Meteor Crater, Arizona
May 19 We woke up this morning to a snow storm. Well it wasn’t as bad as that but snow was coming at us from over the mountains and the temperature was 32 degrees, that’s cold!!. So we settled in our motor home, snug as a bug in a rug and waited out the … More Taos Pueblo
May 18 The drive to Taos from Santa Fe was an easy drive (a visit can easily be planned as a day trip from Santa Fe) but we decided to move the motor home so we could spend a few days here and explore the area. The drive was one spectacular vista after another and … More Taos and the Enchanted Circle
May 16 Long ago when we planned this trip, we thought it would be nice to visit Abiquiu which is the home and studio of Georgia O’Keeffe. You have to make reservations for the house and studio tours way in advance as they only allow very few people at a time through the house to … More Abiquiu via Santuario de Chimayo and Ghost Ranch

But let me … More Santa Fe and Canyon Road art district
May 13 Visiting this museum has always been a dream of mine. I must mention a little about our first impression of Santa Fe though, since this is our first time here. We drove into the center of town and found ourselves subjected to sensory overload. The adobe architecture combined with the colorful Indian (they … More Georgia O’Keeffe
Cooking and drinking on the road … More Santa Fe Skies Campground
May 11 We’re in Las Cruces, New Mexico to visit White Sands. I must mention that Las Cruces is a very beautiful town surrounded by mountains, the views are really spectacular. Our RV campground is right off the highway but fantastic, a lot of privacy between the sites and great wifi, which trust me it’s a … More White Sands National Monument
May 10 Today we moved our motor coach from Carlsbad to Las Cruces, where we plan to stay two days and see White Sands National Monument .
