We used our Walmart card and saved some money on diesel, then hooked up the car and pointed south. It was a nice drive back through Deming and then on into Las Cruces. Las Cruces was a much bigger city than we were expecting and we got to drive right through town. Narrow lanes and lots of traffic, but we made it. Then we continued north on US 70 through San Agustin Pass, past the Holloway Air Force Base and the White Sands National Monument to the much smaller city of Alamogordo.
We found the Edgington RV Park just two miles past Alamogordo. I had called last night to see if they had room for us since it's a fairly small park. All we gave them was our name, but the owner, John saw us coming down the road and waved us in through the exit of the park, guided us to our spot and took the time to introduce himself, his wife and the park. What neat people! We have never been treated like long lost relatives at a park before! John & Barbara brought us brochures of all the things to see and do in the area and visited and answered all of our questions.
The picture of our site makes it look barren here, but it's quite the opposite. In front of us are almond trees, pine trees, a huge willow tree and many others I can't name. It was just desert when John & Barbara bought the property 25 years ago. He has planted every tree himself.
He also built the fishing pond in the middle of the park. It's stocked with catfish, bass, blue gill and some koi. Doug can hardly wait to start fishing. Since we still have fish in the freezer, he'll probably just catch and release.
Here's the pond from the other side. There's a little dock and a picnic table. Quite refreshing!
I spent the evening going through brochures and I hope a week is long enough to see every thing!
And most important........Happy Birthday Mom Bev!!!!!!
