Shopping in Carlsbad was the agenda for today. We went to Harbor Freight for some cheap and cheesy cutting boards, the U.S. Post Office, Albertson’s for groceries, made a fuel stop and topped it all off with a trip to Becky’s which is a drive-in with car hops.
Peggy said her burger was okay and my steak fingers were mysterious. It is quite cheap to eat here but you get what you pay for.
Back at our campsite, we watched scaled quail and a roadrunner as they feasted on the little mounds of bird seed that Peggy had deposited on top of flat rocks near our trailer. They are very pretty birds but quite pushy with each other when food is involved. Not long after the birds found the food, it was gone and they scampered away to seek other suckers.
