VETERANS PARK
October 24, 2017. I am a bit weary of fighting constant wind while driving, and I am sure the other vehicles on the highway are tired of me creeping along. I decide to stay a few days at the Veterans Park in Lordsburg, NM. It has no amenities other than covered picnic tables, a BBQ , and large garbage bins. There are some water spigots for watering the trees, and I utilize it, but boil it good before using as there are no signs saying it’s potable. I would think they would post that it is not potable, but I don’t want to take a chance.
It’s lovely that they honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
The area could use some cleanup, but I am grateful for a chance to park for a few days and catch up on the blog, do some reading, and to do a little reorganizing inside the van. Reorganizing is an ongoing process!
October 25th. The wind continues to blow and has my sinuses clogged keeping me inside again other than the necessary walks the boys need. Internet is good and we will stay another day before continuing our westward progress.
HAPPY VETERAN’S DAY TO THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE UP A PART OF THEIR LIVES TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY. As Billy Cyrus said about servicemen: ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL. Thank you for your service!
I am starting a new feature on the blog and please let me know if it is helpful or not. It will be a compilation of the different things offered at campsites we use.
2Dogs thank you for your loyal readership.

# of Sites: About 15 with the above, and also areas to park that don’t have the tables or BBQs.
Please be courteous and respectful of your neighbors when camping. Pick up your trash and clean up after your dogs. Dogs, as in all group areas anywhere, need to be leashed/restrained at all times. Leave your site better than you found it. Purchase a few things in town. This is especially important when your site is free.

On your journey with you. I’m a little bit lost though. Wonder why population has decreased though. Hope you had a happy birthday.

So appropriate to see this post on Veteran’s Day/weekend. With so much negativity in the news, there have been a lot of posts today thanking our veterans. Nice to know our country, for the most part, respect those who have served, past and present. (Well, maybe for the exception of primadona athletes who have been given everything, whine, and put on a costume rather than a uniform and have sacrificed NOTHING for our country.)
Roberta Laughlin just went through a procedure for a pace maker. All has gone well and she is home recuperating. Also, Lydia Winkelman is in a relationship with a young man from Kansas. He was visiting here for three weeks, so sounds serious.
Enjoying your updates. Keep them coming. Are you going to be in a warm climate the next few months?
🇺🇸 with love, Bettelu
