Stay Where You Know

March 30 - Apr 3/2015   Time to slowly move eastward now,  we plan on being in Ontario by the 3rd week of April.  Hopefully by then the frost will be out of the ground and the nights will not be below freezing.   Farmer's Almanac predicts a warmer than normal April.   Would be nice to go home to warm weather once.  In the last 3 winters we have not had the pleasure of staying warm and going home to warm.  Maybe the 4th one is the charm?    There is a bit of a trick to moving slowly across the USA as the Mid West is notorious for spring tornadoes and severe storms.   We have the Weather Network on frequently to determine our next landing spot.  We are actually going to stay in Albuquerque a couple extra days to avoid a big wind day of 50 mph and bad storms ahead of us  if we keep moving across.  It's better to stay in one place than drive into bad weather.

Our move for now is Albuquerque, New Mexico at the American RV Park.  A few years ago we traveled thru here and overnighted at this park.  I suggested another park about 30 miles in and to the north.  Just for a change of scenery.  Billy was thinking American RV Park was the place to stay but agreed we could try a change of scenery.  We drove 30 miles to a different park, couldn't find the driveway in and luckily a police officer flagged us down from entering the Detention Center parking lot!!!!   Oh Lola strikes again:(   (if you forget Lola is our RV GPS).

Luckily we could make a turn and go around the block to the entrance to the Stagecoach Stop RV Park in Rio Rancho.   The signs to get to the campground are not visible enough to direct you in.  Terrible actually.   Once we found our way into the campground check-in lane Billy walked around and decided the lots were not very level and not very long.  Frankly we were not feeling the "love".   Bad experience. 
Long story short - sometimes it is much better to stay where you already know its good!  Oh yes, 30 miles backtracking to American RV Park and glad to be there.
