Welcome to The Land of Enchantment!

We have made it to New Mexico!

It is very lovely, very different, but very beautiful in it's own way. John unfortunately will have to make one more to trip to MI for another small load of "stuff" that we just could not fit in.

Other than that here is how we arrived in NM.

Now if you look closely at my car that we towed you will see that we had a special passenger......

Fred, The Deer Head, Greeted all passers by on our trip from MI to NM. We aim to entertain, what can I say?

Our new accommodations are a bit smaller (I know is it possible that out MI house? Yup it is), but very nice & without the legal problems with a corrupt local government.

Our new home!

It was like 1/4 the price to buy a brand new '08 5th wheel than for us to rent a house (pets add a lot to rent too). It is a little small, but it's very nice & we'll be able to camp in style once the MI house sells. Also it will be perfect to take to the bigger SASS shoots to stay in (once we aren't living in it full time).

Here is a little peek at the inside:
Dinning "room" & our "walk in" closet to the left. This a bunkhouse model & we just turned the bunkhouse into a closet area.

View from the "closet" of the dinning/living/kitchen:

Let me tell you it is about nothing to clean this baby! Yup we have lost our minds, but hopefully our MI house will sell soon & we can buy a "real" house.

I am on a borrowed computer so my Internet access is spotty. I miss being able to e-mail with everyone & I hope to have access in the "abode on wheels" soon!

I hope everyone is well & that I can post my report from End of Trail soon!

PS I had to add that Puppy Dog likes New Mexico too!

Puppy Dog Likes New Mexico!

Melisa-glad to see you arrived to your new destination okay, I was thinking about you. Your new pad is actually quite spacious inside, and homey! I hope your house in Michigan sells soon for you and that headache is over with.

Looking forward to hearing from you again and all about your new adventures. Take care!!

Wonderful 5th wheel! Hopefully you'll have plenty of opportunity to use that once you've settled into your permanent digs.

You're practically a neighbor now to us Coloradoans. :)
