Bushland and New Mexico

We left Amarillo this morning under grey, threatening skies. It was warm, but not very pretty.


I-40 was our route today and the first thing we saw heading west was this sign for Bushland. How about that? Doug has his own land now.


We enjoy seeing signs that relate to peoples names, but usually, we shoot past them too quick to get pictures.


This was our favorite sight of the day. We crossed back into New Mexico and Mountain Time. It was a lot more fun gaining an hour than losing one. Of course we stopped at the rest area and picked up brochures for the Albuquerque area and stretched our legs.

It was a pleasant drive and once we hit the New Mexico border, the sun reappeared with beautiful blue skies and no clouds. The temperature was in the low nineties when we arrived at the park.


With no trouble, we found Hidden Valley RV Park in Tijeras which is about 10 miles east of Albuquerque. We are packed in like sardines and can't even put our awning out all of the way.


But, we are parked near the end of a row so this is our view out the living room window.


And this is the view from the front window.

It's a friendly park built on a hillside with narrow, winding roads. But we (Doug) negotiated them perfectly with the car still attached. We'll be just fine here for a short stay with some sightseeing.
