Las Cruces-the Cross Roads

Below is an Indian Art image on the entry gate at The American RV Park in Albuquerque, a five star RV park. I know some people might find it hard to believe that RV parks can be high class. This joint was. Even the low end places are filled with rigs that cost between 100, 000 to a million dollars.

This image is the same as the one in the gate but someone made it in the gravel at the park. Pretty impressive work.
many of the workers at the park are RVers. Lifers. People who live in their Rv and exchange a space for work. Free spirits.




Victor and Miles met a couple of boys who were playing football. They were traveling with their folks and seemed to be into all kinds of sports; golf, football,ATVs etc.




They had fun as Amelia played water girl. I think she wanted to play too.




Meanwhile James and Nick try to change the Gas filter. Problem is the fuel system needs to be depressurized...none of us know how to do it. We looked it up on line but little help. We know we have to remove the fuel pump relay but couldn't find a diagram to tell us which relay it was! UGH





Mami proudly sporting her John Deere Shirt we bought in Dodge City at a dealership. Ever since the combine ride she is a John Deere girl. that will make it easy when I want to buy a riding John Deere Mower.






On our drive down to las Cruces we past the carnival driving down as well. Bunk houses, vendor shacks, rides, you name it.







Notice the town name on the sign.....Truth or Consequences. Love it. We got gas there.
Here at the fairgrounds, which is a former Army satellite , radar base....they still have the Gomer Pyle barracks and since it is a historic site, all the old buildings and structures. It is rather cool.
The fair is providing us a second RV. This one a trailer. It;s nice but it has several problems like the LP gas not working, the water heater element is rotted, and they had not hooked it up....no hose either. We will have to fix all this tomorrow.
Mami is coming down wih my cold...keep her in your prayers.
Our stage setup is pretty nice. The boys had it up pretty fast. I will take pix.
Cheers
