Today we decided to drive around instead of just sitting in the camper on Christmas Day. We took off from Truth or Consequences and drove towards Silver City, NM. On the way we ran into a little rain, which turned into snow by the time we got into the mountains and just east of Santa […]

Cats and Colds
December 12th, 2008 
Cheryl Chuck and I (and I think even Shadow) are suffering from some pretty nasty head colds right now. I got it first and it’s been over a week since my symptoms started and instead of getting better, I’ve just gotten worse. Now Chuck’s feeling the effects and Shadow’s been coughing as well. I think it’s […]
Brrrrrrrr!
December 10th, 2008 Shadow Alright, whose idea was it to spend the winter in New Mexico because it’s WARM in the southwest? 24 degrees. That’s how cold it got last night. Dad, Mom, and I are always bundled up or huddled under blankets. This camper wasn’t made for cold weather and isn’t very insulated – though Mom and Dad […]
Arrival at our first Workamping Location
November 14th, 2008 Cheryl Today we arrived at our new home for the next three months – Riverbend Hot Springs in Truth or Consequences, NM. We found this position through our affiliation with Workamper News. For the next three months we’ll ‘work camp’ here. I have the night shift and will be running the office checking in guests for […]
Natchez Trace State Park
November 7th, 2008 Cheryl We arrived at Natchez Trace State Park yesterday about 4pm Central Time (crossed another time zone – let’s see – that makes the fourth time change overall since leaving FL). This is located just about an hour or so west of Nashville, TN and not too far off of Interstate 40. It’s BEAUTIFUL here. We […]
I Finished!
October 28th, 2008 Cheryl I finished! Yay for that. Unfortunately, if anyone has seen my times on the Marine Corps Marathon site (and the pictures of me running which are awful!) you will have thought to yourself how SLOW can she go?! ;-P However, considering the injury I was dealing with for about the last four weeks, I’m satisfied […]

Comments OffBadlands to Mitchell, SD
September 24th, 2008 Cheryl Badlands National Park (Interior, SD) to Mitchell, SD We went out to Badlands NP again this morning for me to get in my 9 mile run.

Interior, SD
September 23rd, 2008 Cheryl Badlands National Park (Interior, SD) We went out to Badlands NP this morning for me to get my 5 mile run in. We went to the Visitor’s Center first to ask a ranger what to expect on the Castle Trail and if it was okay to run on it. “You’ll come back 2 inches taller! […]
Devil’s Tower to the Badlands
September 22nd, 2008 Cheryl Devil’s Tower, WY to Badlands National Park (Interior, SD) We left Devil’s Tower this morning on our way through to the Badlands, SD. First stop was Rapid City, SD to get supplies. Little towns are great, but they don’t always have the things you’re looking for. We stopped at Rushmore Mall and then had lunch […]
A Hurricane in the Desert?
Today marks exactly one month since we began Workamping at Riverbend Hot Springs in Truth or Consequences, NM. Last night and today made us really wonder (yet again) why we chose this part of New Mexico for the winter. The winds were unbelievable! We had steady winds of 25-35 mph with gusts of 50 mph! […]
