Day 44, 45 and 46 and Done!

Jan/Feb 2022 Destination Key West

Hello there! We made a special stop for a visit in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area.

It is so cold in Texas!! Coldest day of the trip.

Check out the mountains of cotton!

We’re Welcomed to Roswell!

It’s Roswell…

Billy the Kid Byway, Ruidoso, and Smokey the Bear

The Billy the Kid National Scenic Byway is a really beautiful drive. Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs seem to be popular tourist spots. We should probably slow down and spend a little time here……

This was a huge monument. I’m not sure what it was, and I only captured some of the many horses. It was beautiful! Unfortunately we can’t always stop, turn around and easily go back. I’m pretty quick with the camera. I wish I could have captured the whole display. Those horses are all life sized.

there’s Smokey…. You should have learned the story in about the third grade. “Remember, only YOU can prevent Forest fires”

The name in the door is “Camelot Storage” 🤔

Look what’s across the street from our RV Park in Alamogordo. It’s that Ahhhh-mazing giant pistachio!

White Sands National Park
Yes, it IS a National Park. It was recently elevated from a National Monument and they haven’t yet changed out all of the signs.

This place is eerily beautiful.

This bright white setting makes our road grimy rig look really shiny and bright!

Just like snow, without the cold and wet! You can purchase the sledding gear at the visitor center. Humans disrupt the big beautiful dunes, and a little wind erases all tracks. It’s really fine, like sand in an hourglass.

We must be back on the I-10. We didn’t know that the “thing” was still a thing! We have always passed it by, but I know someone who has actually stopped to see it. I won’t give it away, you’ll have to go yourself!

This train was over 1 1/2 miles long! Double stacked!

We came through this tight little overpass at the beginning of our trip! We’ve made a complete loop!

Hey Lotti, wake up. We’re almost home!

Great, we hurried home just in time to hit the traffic leaving the Renaissance Festival.

No worries it gives us a little more time to enjoy this beauty.

We LOVE Arizona. After all we’ve seen across this amazing country, we’re glad we live here!

WE ARE HOME SAFE! Thanks to everyone who followed along with us. 7,500 miles! It’s been an amazing trip!

Glad you are back and you beat this storm. Suppose to get 9 to 15 inches on the Rim.
If the monument to the horses was near Ruidoso , it is probably to honor the American Quarter Horse. I think they have the National Quarter Horse Championship there. It is the Kentucky Derby of Quarter Horse Racing.
Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.
