| McKittrick Canyon |
Today we took a motorcycle ride to Guadalupe National Park. Liz got another stamp in her book for this park. Dubbie wasn't our normal good trooper today. It was a bit windy riding and he was very restless. After getting the book stamped and looking around we headed on back down the road to McKittrick Canyon. We were going to take a hike but Dubbie couldn't go so Liz went down the trail for a ways while Dubbie and I hung out and walked around.

| Rattlesnake Springs - Yes we saw a crayfish in the spring |
Then we headed on down the road to Rattlesnake Springs. We drove back in there and saw a flock of wild turkeys and a herd of deer on the way back in there. We saw a crab in the water coming out of the springs and the water was so clear you could take a picture of the crayfish and it turned out good. Of course to get back in there we were on a gravel road again. By this time the sun was starting to go down again so headed on back to the motorhome. Gave the motorcycle a quick wash and loaded it in the trailer. Called it a day and grilled some burgers........While watching the sunset.......

| Traveling south on Hwy 180/62 |
Our plan was to drive back up and do some hiking around McKittrick Canyon but woke up to some strong winds. Liz had a headache going on from the wind the day before and didn't think her head could handle the wind again today on the bike and hiking in this wind would not have been much fun. Decided to just pack it up and head on down the road in the wind. Today was the worst day Karol had driving the motorhome. Liz sat nice a quiet. They said the wind was gusting up to 35 mph and driving thru the mountains you had to make sure you had both hands on the wheel because you didn't know if you were going to get a cross wind or not. Didn't want to get caught off guard.

| Salt Flats - This is our snow |
Drove thru Salt Flats and the ground looked like snow again but it was really fine white sand. Got into El Paso, TX and then headed to Deming, New Mexico where we found a great campground and got off the road for the day. Karol was so glad to be done driving today that she sat down and had a beer and just chilled out. The camp site that we have looks out at a mountain in the distance. We scoped out a few things for tomorrow but it all depends on if the wind is blowing again or not so will just have to wait until morning.......
