July 11th to July 17th



Alamogordo is famous for pistachio nuts. Visited a winery and pistachio farm.


The name of the farm was "Heart of the Desert". The wines were good.  We bought 2 bottles of wine and some pistachios.


Alamogordo has a very short Watertower. We thought it odd, but we saw a picture from 1910 and there it was.


This was our campsite at Lee memorial State Park close to Alamogordo and we met another couple with a casita.

18 Miles to go from 4,300 ft at Alamogordo to Cloudcroft at 8,653. The temperature was delightful up there we spent almost a whole day hiking.



The hummingbirds are numerous.
A lot of shops at Cloudcroft we even had to try a homemade pecan pie.


We camped at lake Brantley close to  Carlsbad and at the bottom of the dam where they let water out all the locals have a great time when it's 104 degrees


In town we had to have a brew from my brewing company. My whole name is Douglas Milton Asbury.

We also went to Carlsbad national Park and caverns.
It took two attempts, the first day we had thunderstorms and they closed the place down. The second day we had a very nice trip. You can ride an elevator down or you can walk down. By all means walk down if you can. It takes 45 minutes just to get down. Pictures do not relay the beauty of the place this is our fourth time, felt like our first. If you are somewhat handicapped go down by elevator and do the main room and take the shortcut.






July 17th we moved our house to Roswell, New Mexico. We are at Bottomless Lakes State Park. On the way we did a adventure lab at Artisan, Mexico. They have many bronze statues depicting the history of the area.



Our new home is Bottomless Lake State Park in Roswell, New Mexico.

52 years ago we came to St. Augustine, we have always loved this town. We have stayed at Anastasia island every time we have been here. This is our campsite number 27 We rode our bikes to town and across the bridge of Lions each day. It is about 10 miles plus any riding around town. We went to visit the fort, interesting airplane entrails One of our favorite restaurant  we did not eat there this time but they have neat tree houses. The whole town has fun with Halloween. New restaurant and open 3 weeks and they have one in Savannah. The name is said trailer park. Order the Nachos, not your usual.Waffle fries, chicken and fantastic sauce. Share with at least one other person.  The last day we were here it rained about 6 in. And none of our streets was flooding but there was some. We had about an inch or two of water for a few hours, but the other end of the campground and a lot. At Oscar scherer we had a great surprise when our friend Chris Phipps was camp next to us. Plus her little fri...

We did not perform the song. We also played a few rounds of pickleball. Are campsites at East harbor State Park. We are here for 13 days while we prepare the garage and dock to sell. This is Olivia and Eden's first day of school. We also got to celebrate maevis's birthday We gave away a lot of stuff, but was able to sell the sunfish at the last moment before closing. Campgrounds are always interested. This is a camper that was straight across from us. These people had a lot of fun look closely at the pictures to see what they wrote on the side of it. One of the planes that flies around the islands every year is the Ford Trip motor We got to garage completely empty and was able to enjoy a couple of days with our friends from Cincinnati Ron and Mary Turnau. We took the ferry to put bay and had ...
