I missed a day of posting on our blog again, but nothing important happened. We just moved from Santa Rosa, NM to Alamogordo, NM, and we'll be here a week.  We will mostly geo-cache here, as we have been to this place many times before and have done the touristy things to do.

This scene shows us approaching the mountains to the south, and we feel that we traveled mostly in the High Plains of New Mexico for most of our trip yesterday.  Our elevations varied from 5,000 feet to over 7,000, so it was a little tough on the fuel tank with all the up's and down's!

This is Boot Hill RV Campground and our motor home is in the distance, behind the cowboy boot.  We love this campground and always stay here.  It is laid out like a cowboy boot, and we are parked in the toe!  Of course, you can't tell that when you are in the campground, but if you look at the map online, it definitely is the shape of a cowboy boot.  We are just on the northern outskirts of Alamogordo, and they call this the Tularosa Basin.  We see mountains on both sides of us.

Jim captured this lightening show that we had this evening.  We were expecting more rain than we got, but it could rain off and on all night.  The desert is quite interesting when it rains.  You don't want to be in any low spots.  Tomorrow, we hope to get some geo-caching done.
