I Didn’t Miss Much

I joined Bud Wednesday at Coronado Campground in Bernalillo, NM, a northern suburb of Albuquerque. We stayed here once before, it used to be a state park but the city took it over. There is an interesting historic site here and the campsites are nicely done.

But the city has grown up to it and this is the road just outside the park. We changed our itinerary when I left Bud again. He went from Homol’ovi in Winslow to a commercial RV park in Gallup to here. They were straightforward drives with very little navigation required, but certainly not scenic; right along I-40.

The view here isn’t great, as we face the commercial buildings along the road.

You can look over at the Sandia Mountains, but Tuesday Bud said there were 50 mph winds with 70 mph gusts and the dust was so thick it obscured the view.

Today we took a walk in a nearby park along the Rio Grande.

That was a nice walk among the cottonwoods…

and there were good views of the river and mountains.

Still this last couple of weeks has not been much fun for Bud. I am so grateful that he again took over moving the trailer and caring for Matey so I could have a last visit with Judy and spend time with her family.
