We left Oklahoma City and were making such good time, we decided to travel a little further to Santa Rosa NM. Once close to our destination, an issue we had been having with the RV’s low level coolant alarm occurred again. We thought the problem was resolved, but ended up going 2 hours out of the way to Albuquerque, to the nearest Freightliner shop for repairs. After a night in a local motel with all of the cats, we finally loaded them up and made our way north to Taos. Once we arrived at Ruth’s, it was nice to relax and catch up with her. We were all excited to start our next adventure. Ruth showed us around Taos, which is a quaint artist community with great privately owned art galleries and good comfort food restaurants. We spent a lovely afternoon spoiling ourselves at the Ojo Caliente Mineral Hot Springs. This seems to be the trend for us on this trip. Can’t wait to find the next one!
Monument Valley is just so amazing (we will be using that word ALOT this trip). The topography is so different than most anything in the US. This is where many John Wayne westerns were filmed and even newer movies like The Wild Wild West, Thelma and Louise and Back to the Future 3. Down in the valley on one of the walls there are Anasazi petroglyphs… pretty cool!
Best Friends Animal Santuary is one of our favorite places on earth. It is the largest no kill shelter in the United States. They have all sorts of animals including pigs and goats, our favorites, even though we were unable to work with them this visit. We volunteered at Cat World, Dog Town, Bunny Village and Horse Haven. This is the 35th anniversary of the sanctuary. It feels really good to volunteer, donate and help this place out everytime we are in the area.
We are on our way to Bryce and Zion National Parks in Utah with a horseback ride, hikes and beautiful views planned.
Looks like you two are having a good time! Keep posting and enjoy. Can’t wait till you return, Corey and I miss you both 🙂
Hi… we are enjoying ourselves, thanks! Been gone a whole month already! Time is going fast. We hope you both have a fabulous summer. Miss you both too! Love S & S
