Quartzsite or Just where are we

Well, yes we did arrived at the Alfa Roadrunner spot.
Our Alfa Logo sign, made with quartz rock is still here and can be seen with Google Satellite, you can make out the image a little.

Since we arrived, worked on 1 generator - loose belt, 1 propane furnace bad board - cold solder joint. And I expect a few more before the week is out.

We took a drive to Tyson Wells, to check out some of the tents, grabbed a coffee at a new shop we found, and we filled our 2, 5 gallon water jugs. 

1 propane fire and tonight 1 real fire. 

When we arrived, there was 3 Rvs. By the end of the day, we had tripled in size to 9. Today, an additional 6 units came in. 5 Alfas and 1 5th wheel of some other brand. And this is not even the week of the rally. 

We started out with a beautiful sunrise this morning, then we capture some unique finds on our walk-a-bout in Tyson Wells:

Our next photo took place in the evening:

This was all in 1 day and a half since we arrived.

Oops, forgot to mention the walks in the desert.

Traveling Day–On Da Road to AIBF

Today, traveling day, on the road to Albuquerque International Balloon Festival. Out route, again on a road less traveled.

Our route, will take’s on U.S. Route 285, and then onto Interstate 40.

“ U.S. Route 285 in New Mexico
U.S. Route 285 is a north–south U.S. highway that runs from Sanderson, TX to Denver, CO. In the state of New Mexico, US 285 enters the state from Texas south of Loving. The highway runs through the major cities of Carlsbad, Roswell, and Santa Fe.

Wikipedia
Length: 407 mi
Constructed: 1934
South end: US 285 at Texas state line
North end: US 285 at Colorado state line ”


We are arriving, a day earlier into Enchanted, along the way we will fuel up on diesel and propane One problem, we will arrives after the propane fuel station will close. Susan located a station, that is open until 5pm, so we will first stop at Ortega's Propane Services. Ortega’s is located at 3914 2nd St NW. Propane is currently selling for $2.00 a gallon. A far cry from $3.50.  I keep telling people, propane is pure profit from refiners.
Anyway, Susan will drive first to Vaughn, then we will switch.

“ History
Vaughn was established in the early 20th century as a Southern Pacific Railroad town. The town's importance grew when a second railroad, the Eastern Railway of New Mexico (an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe line from Belen to Clovis), was completed in 1907 with Vaughn as a division point. A large two-story depot, a roundhouse, and a Harvey House hotel were constructed shortly thereafter. Vaughn was incorporated in 1919 and in 1920 had a population of 888, according to the U.S. census.

The town was one of the shooting scenes for Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw starring Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter.
The Guadalupe County Sheriff's Department, New Mexico Rangers,^[3] the New Mexico State Police and Motor Transportation Police and the Vaughn Police Department^[4] (presently a one-man agency) all patrol the town, which, according to the United States Homeland Security, is a known drug-smuggling route. “

There is also 2 Rv parks located in Vaughn:

Hereford to Roswell New Mexico

Instead of heading to Tucumcari New Mexico, we opted instead to head to our home grounds……………Erie music in the background……ROSWELL, New Mexico.

Our route took us on Texas (US Route 60) to New Mexico (US Route 70). The difference between, this road and I-10 ? Not much, really, alot of ranches, wind turbines, and additional green on the plain.

As we got closer, we still only saw wide open plains. New Mexico, Land of Enchantment – Have not figured this one out yet, as we traveled on the road less traveled. I do mean less Traveled, as no one passed us, or did we see, many vehicles heading the opposite way.

We arrived in Roswell, Via Mr. Garmin, who took us down thru the town and then out again. This allowed us to get a glimpse, of unique places to see. Including Steve’s H. birth place.
