Hey POGgers,

Not sure where to put this thread but this one seems ok. Well it's Sunday night and for us the trip ends tomorrow. Leaving for Las Cruces about 10AM. We had a great time, and great weather. Lloyd and Pamela camped with us, along with some other friends. Saturday morning I had a leaky pressure relief valve on a hot water heater to deal with so I did not make it to the RV show on Saturday. Saturday afternoon the girls played Mexican Train, the guys hung out, and a potluck developed about 5PM. Sunday morning one of the gals made biegnets and coffee with chickory. Janet and I went to the tent about 9:30AM. This is the time to do it, playoff Sunday early in the morning. Small crowds!! Dropped off my tow bar at Blue Ox for a tune up, and did the tent along with some outside vendors. I bought a couple of hiking stick for two of my grandkids, a Blue Ox base plate for the new Honda CRV, and some "stuff". Tow bar was done in 3 hours, cost $25.00, good as new. Back to the rig in time to say good-bye to Lloyd and Pamela and watch some football. The sunset tonight was spectacular!! Again, I'm going to post pictures, I hope they stay in order and tell you a story.

Sunday Sunday so good to me....

We'll do it again next year. It would be great to have you join us. There's plenty of room for all.

Blessings,

Ken

Ken & Janet,

Great pictures; especially the beignets from Cafe' Du Monde. They really bring back memories. We love 'em!

I think we are going to wait for 2010 to travel to Alaska with you guys. Let us know the details and dates.:D

Ken,

Those ice cream makers look too good for my tastes. You need a really ratty looking one to make the good stuff.

Looks very cool. And as soon as I retire in 2020 I'm adding it to my must bus-visit list.

Thanks for the pixs.

Ken and Janet, Know I'm kicking myself for not making time. It's just as I remember it. I'm a sucker for a tent full of RV stuff. The funkier the better.
