Last year we didn’t get to really explore the city of Tucson, due to a laundry mishap that sent Justin back to Phoenix. So this year we were excited to check out the city. There’s definitely a lot to like about Tucson– from the convenient BLM camping near the city, the hip vibe near the University, and the influence of Mexican culture.

Though we did end up at the LoW Hi RV Park it was quite a journey to get there! LoW, of LoW Hi RV park, stands for Loners on Wheels by the way. Haha! Hilarious name.

We had been considering joining Harvest Hosts for a while now– a membership program that allows you to camp for free at farms, wineries, museums and more. While we were at Big Bend, Justin had a conversation with some campers who were members and decided it was time for us to join. Our first Harvest Host experience was staying at Licon Dairy in San Elizario, Texas. We had a great time!

We decided it would be fun to dip into Mexico for the day since we were so close. Right across the Rio Grande from Big Bend National Park is the small Mexican village of Boquillas.

Upon arriving in Roswell we were bombarded by what you would expect, aliens! The most popular by far was a wooden carved alien painted various colors, green being the most common. The RV park we stayed at also had plastic alien statues in various poses and some with props. And, lucky for the visitors, they were for sale.

Alamogordo NM is the closest city to White Sands National Monument, so we made a few stops on our way out including to the excellent space museum there as well as to one of the pistachio farm stores.

Justin and I had been talking privately without the girls about keeping Kara verses bringing her back to the shelter where we originally found her. The shelter was big about if the pet wasn’t a good fit within the first 30 days you could bring it back for a full refund. I think they probably make this rule so that new owners don’t keep a pet out of money guilt when they know it’s a bad fit.

We were amazed with how awesome the Albuquerque science museum was! It was so great, in fact, we spent 2 days there since one just wasn’t enough. So much to explore and learn!

Onward we went to Los Alamos. I had mixed feelings about visiting this place. It was such a big part of history and there were many brilliant scientists who lived here, but history that was made here also killed hundreds of thousands. Devastating.

You know how you hear of people say they woke up after being in Vegas to the realization that they have made some shocking choices? Well, I’m not much of a Vegas girl but we did just make a fairly spur of the moment choice that was definitely crazy. Were we drugged?? I’m not ruling it out. No, we didn’t sell our home to be full time on the road. We got a kitten!
