Last days in Alamogorda

Saturday May 11 2019

A beautiful morning breakfast on the grill and then sat around trying to decide what to do.  A hour later we figured it out.  We would do nothing today!  That worked for about 20 min, then Diane

This is just an interesting

camp site.  

started to get stuff out to clean and I headed outside to vacuum and wash the truck.  Diane started cleaning and the more she cleaned the more stuff she tore apart. By mid afternoon the truck was cleaned and washed inside and out.  The Moho was cleaned top to bottom(inside).  We poured a glass of wine, got the chairs out and just sat down to enjoy, when the wind picked up something fierce and the rain chased us inside.   Diane ended up making the pork roast in the oven.

We had a lite breakfast and headed off to the  Museum of Space History around 10:30.  On our way Diane checked and the Museum didn't open until noon.  So we decided to have lunch first.  A place we have been wanting to try was just up the road so pulled in to the Hi-D-Ho drive-in where they actually came to the vehicle to take your order and then bring you your food. A flash back to the old days.  We just had burgers but they were huge and juicy(needed lots of napkins). Then it was off to the Museum.  It was very interesting and includes the International Space Hall of Fame. "Ham" the first monkey into space is buried here(who would of thought).  There was a lot of missile testing and research done here at White Sands over the years. It all started in WWII when the government leased/borrowed hand from local ranchers to test bombs.  After the war they liked the area for testing so they refused to give to back.  And eventually they just confiscated it, (go figure).  Back home, walks for Rudy and just hot dogs and beans for dinner.

Just a few pictures from the space museum.

We decided to try something new for breakfast so after Diane sliced, chopped and diced I made us an onion, mushroom, and cheese omelet with fresh sausage patties.   Worked around the camper, washed windshield, and made reservations.  Making reservations is always a challenge and today was no different but after two hours we are now booked for the rest of the month and we already had reservation in Golden CO so we are good until the 10th of June. Yea. Just as we were cleaning up the neighbors came over and we enjoyed happy hour with them.  They are also full timers and into their first year, it was a nice chat.  After they left we had ka-bobs on the grill but it was almost 7:30 until we ate.

Our last night at 

Holloman AFB

Tuesday May 14 2019

Another beautiful morning sunny 60 degrees warming quickly into the seventies.  After a quick breakfast cleaned up then off to Walgreens, coffee store and groceries  and of course lunch. Back to the Moho unpack and start preparing for our trip tomorrow.  We did get a new neighbor today and when they pulled in they were leaking hydraulic fluid, from their slide motor...oops.  Len and Barb our other neighbors came over about 4:30 for happy hour, then they headed out for dinner, while Brad had shrimp and I had left overs from yesterday.  All in all, it was a good day.
