A short stop in Gallup, New Mexico




After four days in Albuquerque, we headed west. Since we needed an oil change and the campground in Flagstaff can't take us until Sunday, we opted to make today a short one. We're spending the night at the USA RV Park in Gallup, NM. It's a very nice park and is FREE to active duty military. Fortunately, David's retirement isn't official until the 1st of August, so we just snuck in under the wire. Of course, they have a wonderful gift shop full of Route 66 and Native American stuff, so I think this free campground has cost us more than any other!




We arrived with clear skies and hot weather, but by 2 o'clock the sky was dark and the rain started coming down. The lightening and thunder followed shortly. Bridget and I were trapped in the gift shop (I hate it when that happens) for an hour or so...if there's one thing you don't want to do in a thunderstorm, it's run across a flat, open RV park.




The storm cleared up about 6:30 and we went to the park's ice cream social.
