Fri
- We skipped coffee & doughnuts and hit the road reasonably
early – I40 continuing west. It is still obviously construction
season but no delays. I guess they can't hold up all the semis in
both directions. We stopped for fuel and were going to get something
to eat but the truck stop was really congested so we decided to go
down the road a ways. Well, we ended up finishing some little
doughnuts that we got a couple of days ago and weren't all that
hungry when we reached another restaurant with decent access so
continued into Albuqueque/Bernalillo. We have stayed at the Coronado
Campground in Bernalillo in the past and got a site here again. The
rate is right - $20 for water & electric – and there is a
casino a short drive away! We had to park the 5th wheel
far back in the site to be able to get it level and the water hookup
is on the wrong side in front of the site so Terry went to the office
to see if he could buy a hose. The host lent him a short hose that
got us hooked up. We had an early dinner and then took the bike to
the casino where Terry won enough to cover my losses as well.
Sat
– After coffee, games & breakfast, we went to find a
Costco. The GPS did not do a good job and had us driving in circles.
Luckily my phone did a better job but if I had not spotted the sign
as we went past another business we might have made another loop.
Costco is located behind a Chev dealer and a strip mall – very odd!
We did our shopping and then stopped at WalMart for few more items.
After putting things away and having a light lunch, we went back to
the casino where we found motorcycle parking in the parkade. This
time Terry didn't bail us out! Dinner, drinks & relax!
Sun
– We can only use one AC here (rules of the park!) but it is
doing a fairly good job of keeping the rig liveable as it isn't super
hot. We had a muffin with our coffee & games and then hung
around long enough to have some lunch before heading back to the
casino. Not so good! There is an adobe picnic shelter with a sturdy
picnic table (casita?) at each site here and it is amazing how cool
it is under there. Each time I have been in it a lovely breeze is
blowing through the big “windows”. Terry set up the BBQ there
for dinner. Just as it was getting dark, we heard thunder and then
rain beating on the roof – good thing we loaded the bike when we
got back this afternoon. The roads were small streams as the
heaviest rain lasted about 20 minutes.
