MAY 23 – 28, 2013   MOVIN & GROOVIN

We took a week off, well not exactly as we did have some moving to do.  We left Lahitas and headed to Fort Stockton.  It was a long drive and we got there early in the PM.  This gave us time to do a fairly big grocery shop; Fort Stockton is the biggest town in the area.  We were staying at the Hilltop RV and found out that when you are in a combined desert, plains area it might not be such a good idea.  The wind was a blowin and we was a rockin.   The most we had ever felt the coach move.

The next day we headed for Artesia, we really wanted to stay in Carlsbad but the parks that could take our coach were full.  So Artesia it was.  We were hoping to get a little relief from the heat but that didn’t work out.  As a result we hid from the heat and rested.   One of the reasons we hid was that we didn’t want to fight any of the long weekend crowds.  Been there done that.  We didn’t completely hibernate as we had maintenance to do to the coach and the car needed washing.  A trip to the grocery store, the bank and the post office were also necessary, but for e the most part we hid from the heat and relaxed.
