It's made out of trash!

Yesterday, on our way back from Mexico, (which by the way, has the best baked goods and cheese!), we went over to Las Cruces to see the WORLDS LARGEST ROAD RUNNER. Unlike the one on Ft. Stockton, this one doesn't seem to have a name. But it is known as the "recycled Road Runner" because it is completely made out of garbage. If you decide to go check it out, it is at the rest area, going east on I10, right before entering Las Cruces. This is a link to more information about it, but it is mostly just entries from people that have been to see it. Still interesting. Las Cruces Recycled RoadRunner

Texas, Here we come!!

So our plans to go to South Dakota were blitzed a week before we were supposed to go there, and we had no "plan b". So we scramble, renew our membership to workamper.com and refresh our resume to get ready to start sending out to places needing workampers for the summer.

(Now, a bit of history here, while we have been volunteering at the Bosque del Apache, we have fallen in love with the roadrunner, and have adopted it as our mascot. ........on with the story)


We got a call yesterday morning from someone in Ft. Stockton, Tx offering us a job in their Rv Park, in exchange for 10hrs work each, we get full hook ups, free wifi, free laundry, and two meals a day in the cafe that I will be working in. What is the name of this cafe, you might be asking yourself? Well, nothing less than the "ROADRUNNER CAFE", AND Ft. Stockton is home to the largest Roadrunner statue in the world! I'll add photos of Paisano Pete who is 11 feet tall, 22 feet Long, when we get there, so I can post photos of my own. :) Anyway, we get everything we were looking for, and they have roadrunners....... it's a good sign. :)

So we are on our way to Ft. Stockton, Tx. Everything we work over the 10hrs each, will be earning a wage, so this is exactly what we were looking for. Oh, and now, we are only driving a few hours! Of course, we will be going to a state that we had already filled in on our map, but we only drove through it, this way we can truly say we were there! :)

"HOME IS WHERE YOU PARK IT"

Ok, Plans Change.........

Most of you have heard that we were planning on spending the summer in South Dakota........ well, plans change, and I am now very excited! :)

We are revamping our resume on Workamper.com and while I was going through pics from our travels, I came across a few that I haven't shared on here that I think are great. :)


This was our first stop, (home), Murray, Ky. That's my brother on the right, Joey. :)


"Don't know what's going on, so we'll just nap."



Not sure where we were, I think just leaving Texas, entering NM, but that's him pulling the rv, and I'm driving behind in the little truck.

"WE MADE IT!!!"


getting ready for lift off


our balloon landed on the reservation, and you can't lift off from there, or they will shoot you down, so while we were packing up, this was the view coming over the ridge.

New Mexico car alarm. When the owner came back, both dogs jumped down, and into the truck.

Bosque del Apache Sunset


Three rivers petroglyphs


"nobody said it would be cold in the desert!"


I think they said this was called a sundog. it is a sign that the crops are going to be good this year, or something like that. Just looks cool to me. :)


Chipmunks like our birdseed


On the job.
