A Love Story: Truth or Consequences (New Mexico, pt. 2 )

I LOVED Truth or Consequences! Enough so, that I will consider it as a possibility for my home-base, when I am ready to make that decision.

We stayed at the Artesian Bath House and RV Park. The park and facilities are older, but very clean and the owner, Bill, is awesome! He will go out of his way to make sure his guests are happy and comfortable. The rates are beyond reasonable.

·$100.00 per month plus electric

·$65.00 weekly plus electric

·$20.00 Nightly full hookup

·$15.00 Nightly electric only

·$10.00 Nightly dry camp

 

The park is situated close enough to the downtown area that you can walk, everywhere: to the grocery store, the post office, the galleries, restaurants and museums.

It's also only a block from the Rio Grande. At the water front park there are hiking trails, fishing and the unofficial dog park.The Rio Grande was much grander at this point.


To top off a wonderful week, my friends Alan, Joann and Snickers joined me for a few days.

They took me out sight-seeing (next post), fed me, allowed me to watch TV in their big, comfortable 5th wheel and spoiled Stumpy rotten. Best of all were the multiple daily dog walks along the river.

Just when I thought the whole Tor C experience couldn't get any better we met up with local resident and my RTR buddy, Bri and his lovely wife Kit, who I had been dying to meet for years. They were kind enough to give us a tour of their lovely residence and their many wheels.

Joann, Alan, Bri and I then went to Maria's, a wonderful Mexican Restaurant, in the Williamsburg section (Thanks Bri!) of Tor C, for lunch. One day, I swear, I am going to order something other than Chile rellanos. But, GAWD! I just can't seem to help myself!

Thanks to my good friends for a great time, lots of laughs and memories to last a lifetime!

As a side note, Briii has a sweet, older, converted short bus for sale. You can contact him through his blog.

I am done trying to align things in this blog. Blogger can do whatever it likes (and does.)

 

 

An AWESOME Boon Docking/Full-timin' RV Resource

I met Jen and Johnny (aka Hitek Homeless) at the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous in Quartzsite this past January. I may be their biggest fan (and quite possibly a harmless stalker)


One of the many things I love about this couple is their willingness to share information. They've created a couple of fantastic websites that do just that.

Their blog documents their travels with pictures and descriptions of hikes, campsites, and other aspects that may be of interest to travelers of all modes. It also has a page dedicated to work camping resources. Bookmark this page! It lists many resources available with a single click and it has recently been updated.

They also have a wonderful gallery of pictures, taken at their many camp sites, hiking and caving expeditions. I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorite, but I really enjoyed the most recent

Jen and Johnny are also created FreeCampsites.net. The website incorporates an interactive map of boon docking campsites, which is easily navigated. All of the listed sites have been utilized by Jen and Johnny or contributors. The campsites are rated and any difficulties getting there are noted and discussed. The website is updated regularly as they travel throughout the United States.

They provide a discussion forum to discuss all aspects of RV living and boon docking.

You can stalk follow them on FaceBook, for more frequent updates. If you have a question about a campsite or area they're happy to provide answers.

As a sidenote, if you have the opportunity to camp with these wanderers, the entertainment value, alone, is priceless!


Thanks, you guys, for providing such awesome resources and not having me arrested for stalking! I'm looking forward to the next time!
