Dan--Are you in New Mexico?

[Guest guest]

Hi, Dan. I saw your message about dandelions. Are you in New Mexico?

Did you get the rental house?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Yes, we did make it to New Mexico, just two days ago. We reconsidered going

south of Albequerque, but heard from a lot of sources that the farther south you

go, the poorer and sleazier it got. I don't know for a fact, but we checked

into a church in Albequerque, got a motel room that had mold and made Carmella

and Little Dan sick, so I complained until they gave me a refund and we pitched

our tent at a KOA. We did not like Albequerque, we felt so alienated there, and

so unwelcome, so we headed north toward Colorado. At this moment we are at a

state park near Las Vegas, NM, and it is nice, not crowded like KOA's, and a lot

cheaper, but no internet connection, so we are parked outside an Internet cafe

to do exactly this. We will be here until Friday, then we may move toward

Colorado, but not sure yet. Looking in to job possibilities at state

campgrounds. We are just about broke until the first of the month, (state camp

ground camping is cheap for those on the move), so we may hang here, or we may

move forward, just not sure yet, we have a few days to discuss our plans.

I will say, Sante Fe, NM is nice, a very high class type town, probably a

little too rich for our blood. Las Vegas is very nice, and the people here are

friendly. We went to a grocery store, and every person we would say something

to broke into a conversation as if we had known them for years. However, if we

tell them we are thinking of relocating here, their smile remains but the

expression in their eyes changes a little. Then we ran into a Native American

who moved here about a year ago, and he says the town is tight. In otherwords

they have lived here all their lives and don't like change. He has had a few

opporunities close on him because he is not from around here to begin with.

However, I'm thinking that given time, that would change. Of all our travels

over the past two weeks, these are the friendliest people we have met.

Thank you for thinking of us and asking, we've had days of no internet, and

days of interenet but no mail servers, so I'm taking advantage of this while I

have it.

Enjoying the scenery,

back next time we find a connection. Maybe by the end of the month we

can get the cable to use our cell phones, until then we have to find

wifi hot spots, and some small town area's don't have many open wifi

spots. We are planning at this point to move northward a little more,

to somewhere around trinidad Colorado, which is still dry and very

clean, but they have less water issues. Due to some of the flora that

is indigenous to that area, we expect it to be relatively mold free as

well as NM.

Enjoying the scenery,

Dan & Carmella,

Glad to hear that you made it and a safe trip on top of that. From

what I understand there is an MCS group or community in Albequerque

here is the link: http://www.herc.org/hhc/AlbMCSInfo.html

Hopefully you will be able to find a safe place soon.
