Elephant Butte State Park New Mexico

Hi All. We 've had another event. We left Oliver Lee last thursday morning. We headed towards Sante Fe. When we left the temp was 52 (typical) degrees. The further north we went the colder it got. 125 miles later we are on a two lane road enjoying life and it starts snowing, hard. My mirror is flashing "ICE" and 35 degrees. I told Karen, I've had enough of this. So I did a u-turn with our rig on a two lane road. Several miles later and we are in a hail storm. Hail the size of peas and larger are pelting our rig. I thought for sure that we would be all dented up. No damage. We drove south 25 miles, west 60 miles and south 80 miles. We are now in "Truth or Consequences" New Mexico. That was good for us. What a beautiful park. The lake is huge and beautiful and full of fish. Everyday we see deer, jack rabbits, road runners and quail. Quail are everywhere, lots of them. We've been kayaking several times, biking and of course running. We've been site seeing and shopping. Oh and Karen survived another birthday. We also made some new friends, Bill and Jan from Washington State. We are suppose leave here Friday a.m - maybe? We are having a great time but we do miss our family and friends. We'll be home May 15. We hope to see everyone then. Love you guys Tom and Karen
