Chuck and Anne have recently recently asked questions about the blog which I thought I would answer on the blog in case the information was useful to others.

Greetings all.  Posting this blog live will avoid creating the giberish text that seems always to show up when I paste from MS Word.  Here we have Internet, at least at the RV Park office.  We arrived here within sight of Las Vegas yesterday after a two-day drive from Albuquerque.  Yesterday morning we awoke in a park just outside Winslow AZ.  We woke up early on Mountain Daylight Time, but Arizona does not use Daylight time, so we were on the road while most of Arizona slept.  Coming through town we had to stop at the "Standing on the Corner" Park.

We are more precisely about five miles east of the town made famous by popular music at the park next to the reservoir.  Camping here is literally dry.  There is no potable water, but there are about a dozen paved sites with picnic tables and grills.  There is a restroom, but a notice states that the water is not potable.  The fee is zero dollars.  This fee and the lovely view of the high desert and the red rock lined lake belo

Weather forecasted for Colorado having changed our plans, we steered southwest from Elkhart KS yesterday across the Oklahoma panhandle and a corner of Texas before reaching the state of New Mexico.  Along the way we saw our first Chihuahuan Ravens of the year.  The strong wind that fought us all the way served to expose the white base of one of these black bird’s feathers, confirming the identification.  Otherwise, except for their voice, they are scarcely different from the Common Raven.&n
