Happy Birthday Michelle! Lucky for you we have been on the road so I haven’t had time to dig in the archives for torturous pictures from your past! I might look for one….tee hee. (this was 1985, she was 2...I decided not to post the naked picture....laugh!)
We left Benson, AZ this morning just after 9. It was a lovely sunny day. Just another day of driving east on I-10, we have seen more truckers pulled over by Troopers than ever before and consequently we have not seen trucks pushing other motorists off onto the shoulder this trip…so far. They haven’t been flying past us either…nice.
At Las Cruces we picked up 70 north to Alamorgordo then 54 to Tularosa/La Luz. We thought we were seeing things at first as we crossed the White Sands missile testing grounds…there was a small group of some kind of large African antelope grazing out in the grasslands. We saw a few more a little later and an ambulance crew had stopped to get photos….we were going too fast to stop and I never would have gotten my camera on and ready in time, now we just have to figure out what they were. They were unexpected, but we had gotten used to seeing that when we were in the hill country of west Texas…there are a lot of hunting clubs with “exotics” from all over the world, so I guess I wasn’t as surprised as I should have been.
We have stayed at this RV park before and we like it because it is about a mile as the crow flies from the highway and is relatively quiet…nice after staying on the highways while traveling. We arrived here after 4 sometime, had traveled 311 miles and got set up by the time the sun set in its blaze of oranges and reds.
Tomorrow will be a run to the grocery store for supplies and then just resting after four days of traveling, we also have to figure out where to have our mail sent…we forgot to ask the park host…oh well, tomorrow. There is always more setup when we stay a long period of time versus just a night or two so we’ll be putsing around with that too.

phew, i was a little concerned actually =)
She'll post more...hee hee
Thet were ORYX. They were introduced a few years ago, and have bred so fast that they became a nuisance to the local wild life, and recently a 'hunting season' was declared to thin them out
Thanks Bernard, that is what we thought they were but I forgot to research when we arrived! That happens so often when an "alien" creature or plant is introduced to an area!
