I gotta tell you we are having an adventure! We met a man today who had a terrible adventure this afternoon. We traveled 290 miles today and are in the Escapee Dreamcatcher RV park in New Mexico. Did I tell you it was windy? What a day. We stopped just east of El Paso TX at a rest area on I 10 for lunch. When we pulled in a guy was trying to remove his awning from his motorhome as the wind had already torn it half off. Did I say it was windy? Anyway, a guy comes up to me excited about a trucker who won $100K in the lottery and was giving away $100 bills celebrating and I should come over and join them. Mama didn't raise no fool (besides I'm already wealthy! ha ha) so I continued helping the RVer with his awning. As we were finishing another guy who was VERY shaken asks me for help. He was so upset he couldn't dial 911 on his cell, I thought someone was real sick. I used our cell and called 911 and the guy was so upset he couldn't tell 911 where we were so I did. He then told the sherriff that he was assulted and robbed of over $50K. Did I tell you it was windy? Turns out he fell for the free $100 story and why on earth he had $50K+ with him I will never understand, he was also in a RV. Anyway 4 or 5 guys rolled him. He was so upset before 3 sherriff cars arrived he said twice if he didn't get it back he'd kill himself! I gave the cops a statement and good description of the guy who approached me and Mr Suicide. Did I tell you it was windy? OK, after we entered NM it did get REAL windy, so much blowing sand it was hard to see at times. A motorhome and toad passed us and we both thought he'd loose it more than once, we backed off. Anyway, we made it, the guy pulling into the RV park behind me with a HitchHiker was too rattled to go to the soicial hour his wife said. The pics I just took look like snow, you can't see the mountains behind us. Forecast sounds like Michigan, not sure about staying here, Dave Wood is more use to this than me. Did I tell you it was windy? But....I'm glad to be off the road!
