Moving into Santa Fe

Last night was a full moon and it was so pretty from our campsite - my camera doesn't do it justice...
Moon rising behind us...

The moon along with our flag flying at the back of Miss Doozie.
 We drove into Santa Fe at midday today. We had a slight scare this morning as the curb/passenger side front tire was showing very low air pressure. We were able to air it up from the on-board air by starting up the bus and letting air pressure build up. We raised the tire totally off the ground and put soapy water on it to see if we could see any evidence of air leakage. We didn't find any, and it has held air fine today - so we think that we probably did not get the TireMinder cap replaced tightly enough after we checked air pressures and temperatures as we were leaving Albuquerque. It's always something!!!

Coming off of I-25 onto Cerrillos Road - there is evidently a new traffic pattern. The satellite view on Google Maps doesn't show it, but the regular map view does:
Do you see how route 14 crosses over itself and then back? Coming from the south on CanAm Hwy (I-25), you exit and stay to the left on the ramp, and get onto route 14 on what would normally be the wrong way of traffic! You proceed to a traffic light and route 14 crosses back over. It was disconcerting to be merging onto what seemed like it would be on-coming traffic!!! I'm sure it is supposed to help with flow, but it sure was scarey for me until I was sure that the road I was merging onto was going the same way that I wanted to go! (google maps)


We arrived at Trailer Ranch RV Park and have settled in to our site. Dwayne headed out to pick up the additional V-belt that we needed to get from Autozone and an Amazon order that we had sent to an Amazon Locker at Whole Foods.

The sites are nice here - not as much separation as we had at the COE park, but full hookups and very well maintained park. They have "Marriage Savers" - guys who guide you to your site and get you parked. We are not accustomed to that level of service - it is nice!
We're looking forward to meeting up with our friend Celesta (and her two kitties!) and seeing more of Santa Fe over the next few days!
