We checked out of our campsite at 11 am Friday but only after a final trip to the library to finish blog #8. Just at the end I lost about half of it due to a quirk in the program. So we had to move on. We made it back to the Walmart in Starkville, Colorado where we had stopped on the way up. The wifi was good out to the RV so I redid the rest of the blog and got it out. I wanted to spend at least one night out 'boondocking' (middle of nowhere, no hookups, and preferably no one else around). We found the Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge about 35 miles into New Mexico and a short distance off I-25. Turned out to be a beautiful, peaceful spot. We watched a serious thunderstorm move west to east along the mountains a few miles to the north of us. We enjoyed a spectacular lightning show.The rain moved around to the east behind the lake and gave a good effect. We only got a few drops of rain, but it looked like more was coming our way. It didn't come but we got a gorgeous sunset. The next morning we set out for Texas. The route took us through the backroads of northeast New Mexico to Clovis. This was a very pleasant drive as the roads were good, little or no traffic and we were able to cruise about 55 mph. Now many of you would poo-poo that, but it's quite nice to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace. The scenery was vast stretches of grassland, but it had a beauty all it's own. We're going to stop somewhere tonight and probably make it home tomorrow or the next day.
As with all our trips, we are always impressed with the awesome natural beauty that God has blessed us with in this great land. The man-made stuff is good too. Many of you have made comments about this blog, and I have not responded to most. Just know that those comments are what keep me going on, spending the time to do it. So thanks for going along with us. Maybe we'll do it again on down the road. Stay tuned. From the Walmart Parking Lot - Snyder, Texas
