Today was blissfully a travel day and we were delighted to leave Tucumcari and get back on I-40/Route 66 westbound. We started a slow climb from Tucumcari at about 4000′ and ended up at around 7000′ in Santa Fe.
The pesky noise coming from the truck that has imprisoned us in Tucumcari for five days was not evident this morning and when we got to Santa Fe we thought we heard a bit of clicking but not regular enough to figure out where it is coming from. We set up our Barbarian Invader and made an appointment with the Ford dealership for tomorrow.
We are delighted to be here. We have checked into an RV park called Santa Fe Skies and, in addition to full hookups and good wi-fi, we were assigned a pull-through space right at the edge of the park giving us magnificent views of the snow-covered mountains surrounding Santa Fe, the twinkling city lights below us at night and an extraordinary sunset in between. The park also features a big laundry facility but no pool. The men’s side of their bathroom/shower complex is very clean and shiny. Handicapped toilet stalls even have their own sinks! I might move in there if my money ever runs out.
