Los Alamos

We decided to ride over to Los Alamos where my friend works – we’re so glad that we did. The views were spectacular!

Before we headed there we went into Espanola to pick up a couple of things. We always pray together before we leave the RV area and ask for a hedge of protection around us and the RV.  In town I was waiting in the truck and a loud warning went off on my phone – a tornado warning. Really? Ray was just coming out and he hadn’t heard it. We decided to go into the store and wait for the time to pass. The guys working there said yeah, they had the warning too but they had never had a tornado there ever. The warning (not watch) said that it was headed right to where the RV was. We watched on the weather radar as the storm split and went around us and the RV park on both sides. God is amazing – He has been so good to us! We did get a bunch of small hail, and when we drove towards Los Alamos we saw quite a bit on the road.

Later we were able to meet my friend and have dinner. The Roadrunner RV park is on a reservation and they have what they say is the largest casino. They have free valet service from your RV to the Buffalo Thunder casino. We thought that would be a great place to meet but we hadn’t thought about tobacco smoke – everything from cigarettes to cigars. So that didn’t work out. I have been having nosebleeds all morning – not fun. But we went to a very nice restaurant across from the RV park, ate and talked. There isn’t any way to really catch up in that amount of time but it was nice. Maybe we’ll meet up on the road some time since they are getting near retirement age and thinking of traveling too.

Today we head up to the NRA campgrounds – about a three hour drive. Hopefully the weather will hold! It’s chilly – just in 40’s and later in the 60’s today (I know Northerners – that’s warm!).
