3 Tents, That'll be $35.....


$35 for 3 tents?



Well you see, they're all very nice tents.



I think that's fair Clark, it seems like a nice place, and they have a pool and everything.



If you haven't a clue what I am talking about here, then you really must drop what you are doing and run out and rent National Lampoon's Vacation ~ classic! Just after this is said Rus and Audrey are running to the pool talking about how they can't wait to get in ~ and when they get to the above ground pool it is totally green and slimy and there are swans swimming in it. This was the running joke our first night when we stayed at the truck stop~ all the kids were interested in was swimming in the pool and this particular scene is what came to mind! Fortunately the pool was in-ground and was clear blue just like it should be.

Tonight we are in Moriarty, New Mexico ~ little town pretty much in the middle of nothing ~ that seems to be the theme of this vacation doesn't it? I think we saw more nothing today than I have seen in my life! We got into the hills today ~ not mountains, hills, and they are massive! Pulling a trailer in this is no kinds of fun ~ my left calf muscle hurts after all of the vertical pedal pushing I did today ~ seriously, you have got to get all up on the gas just to make it up these things at a respectable speed! Pretty bad when you see the 18 wheelers putting their hazards on to go up them because they are just crawling ~ it's quite possible that I could get out and run faster than they are going! Mom is having a rougher time than I am since she is hauling 4000 pounds of horse behind her, but we did manage to make it here, even in a decent amount of time. Tomorrow is the last day on the road and we will be pulling into Pagossa Springs ~ really looking forward to getting there and being done with all of this car time! Should only be about 4 1/2 hours tomorrow ~ our shortest day yet! This also means that we will be checking out of technology land tomorrow as well ~ no guarantees that I will be posting before mid July! The scenery is really very pretty here ~ mom told Hunter and Bryce to look out at the scenery, and she said Hunter looked out the window and said "where?" ~ too funny! She informed him that the scenery was all around him and to take his face out of his TV screen long enough to take some of it in! Can't wait to get there tomorrow ~ will give an update when I can!
