I think imagination is an amazing thing when folks come up with ideas like that. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-16496167465980010152018-03-14T20:02:34.590-04:002018-03-14T20:02:34.590-04:00We love Carlsbad Caverns. we've been a couple ...We love Carlsbad Caverns. we've been a couple of times over the years. Just make sure you take the natural entrance, it's amazing! The Road runner is something else..I guess called recycling..but at least it fits the area. I know Sacramento airport has a huge collection of suitcases that they formed into art?! Enjoy!

Not sure Riley too excited but we'll see how it goes. <br /><br />I think the area is going to be a good place to just rest and recharge for a while. I'm not sure you'd like it here. It may be a little too far off the beaten path for you. Free range cows here as well, although we've not had a visit yet, we did see them off in the distance and of course they have left numerous little packages along the way. <br /><br />Enjoy your day!!<br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-2487963001230440402018-03-14T11:21:41.372-04:002018-03-14T11:21:41.372-04:00Thanks Deb.

Maybe in a few years I'll be totally different in my thinking, who knows. It at least gives me a base to start next time I come out this way. I like that Bill Richards also rates the roads for us, it gives us all an idea of what to expect. <br /><br />The Road Runner is definitely unique and I think a fantastic example of recycling. I would be interested to know the history of the bird's making and will look that one of these days when I have more time. It would be interesting to know if some of the material used came from the rest area trash bins or ground, etc. One person junk truly is another one's treasure. <br /><br />We had high wind warnings pretty much all day but didn't notice them too much. Besides I'd rather be parked in the high winds than driving in them. They can toss us around a bit even with a full load of fresh water. We did find battling the headwinds a few days ago tough as they were strong enough to make it feel as if the Dogsled had no pep in his step. He usually feels like a pup raring to go. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-62810147216750428862018-03-14T11:13:37.958-04:002018-03-14T11:13:37.958-04:00Haha, it was three roads, and she messed up. Not a...Haha, it was three roads, and she messed up. Not a good average. She made the route herself so there is no excuse for mistake. <br /><br />We plan or at least I plan on taking the cavern tour. It's one of the reasons we came this way. It's also not far from where we stayed in Dexter just south of Roswell, so we're getting back into familiar territory. <br /><br />The Road Runner was certainly interesting but so many people have written about it that I decided I'd do just a tiny bit. Maybe next time I'll do a bit more about it. I would like to stay there over night I think the view would be very nice. <br /><br />Enjoy your grass lands!!!<br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-83549186977208313632018-03-14T11:03:25.884-04:002018-03-14T11:03:25.884-04:00I do too Vern.

It would make a great inner wall for a new house, what a conversation starter. <br /><br />I agree about a good camp cook and the hungrier one is the better the cook can make it taste. <br /><br />We are enjoying the country for certain, seeing it for the first time is always jaw dropping but I think this country will be jaw dropping no matter how many times I see it. Sorry to hear about the snow, unless of course you like snow. Me, I can do without it. I like seeing it on the mountain tops while I'm in shorts down on the flat lands. <br /><br />Take care, be safe<br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-25027638154790548342018-03-14T08:15:32.437-04:002018-03-14T08:15:32.437-04:00Enjoy your time there, exploring.

Great pictures of your two days of traveling through some beautiful scenery. Thank you for adding your thoughts about the roads you have been on. We have a mountain directory but it is nice to hear what someone who has just driven them has to say about the experience.<br /> <br />We agree the LasCruces rest stop with the Road Runner is not a disappointment we would stop there every time we go by even if we do not need to rest. The views of the city are wonderful we had hoped to stay there last year but the high wind warnings kept us moving. Enjoy your time in your new spot and stay safe.

I got confused trying to figure out how you bounced around so much. Hope you enjoy your new free place. I will keep it in mind in case I go in that direction.<br /><br />I really liked the pictures of the road runner. I stayed there overnight once and I don't think I noticed it was made of trash. I will take notice when I stop there next week though.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-64146409099862267252018-03-13T23:21:13.489-04:002018-03-13T23:21:13.489-04:00Really like the old house's .
