July 4- Pendaries, NM


What a great way to spend a holiday that celebrates our freedom. We are here at Pendaries RV Park. It's located about 20 miles from Las Vegas, NM and what a great place. The sites are level, the people are great, and service has been wonderful. Besides the fact that we are here with a great group of friends. Fortunately for us we are able to stay a little longer than everyone else. What an opportunity to explore the local sites once again.
We found a local herbalist that, I think, has something for everyone. It's amazing, to me, that we can have so many different ways to address our health issues. We just need to take control of it and do it.
I tried my fishing luck at Morphy Lake and Storie Lake. Out of both lakes I was only able to wind up with one small trout. At Morphy Lake, the people in the boats were doing the best. I watched 3 people pull 8 good sized trout out of the lake in 40 minutes. They were only about 50 yds from shore too. It'll be so much better when I get the float tube out. Oh well, we'll be back.
We all gathered at the Walker's place for an evening get together. What a wonderful evening, eating great food, watching the sunset, and great friendship. Steve and Pat have really done a super job in fixing the place up. It's their get away place for now. His gazebo is really a work or art. It even has a fireplace to help stay cozy as the night cools down.
We also got to share in the Stegman's joy of traveling for the 1st time in their 35 ft Excel TKE. I was able to help out with a few tips & tricks on living in it and running the various pieces of equipment. That's the fun part of RVing, sharing experiences with others.
The other nice thing about being here over the 4th was the fact that there were no fireworks allowed. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy seeing them but not hearing then at midnight. The park did not allow any fireworks of any kind because of the fire danger. It's just not worth the risk to life and property.
