Rex and Nancy's Travels - "ALL WHO WANDER ARE NOT LOST" - JRR Tolkein

We are continuing to enjoy working at Rio Chama RV Park – Nancy is learning more about the office and Rex and the other outside crew are mowing – a big job here keeping everything mowed and trimmed! Rex spent some time renovating this railroad baggage car for the park owner, Russ. Rex enjoyed working on this project and the cart certainly looks better now! Rex rode the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad for the first time this year on June 9 th .   He wanted to make sure the dizziness from his head injury in March would not interfere with his being a docent on the train.   His ride went well and he will work as a docent on his days off from the park when they need him. We love all the big cottonwood trees in the park except for this time of year when all the cotton is flying – sometimes it looks like it is snowing and there are small piles of snow on the side of the roads!   It is also playing ha...

We made it to Chama midafternoon and spent the rest of the day getting set up.   We started our jobs in the RV Park Sunday morning – Nancy in the office and Rex is working outside.     The heavy snows over the winter knocked some trees down and broke a lot of branches so the guys were busy getting the park cleaned up.   We woke up on April 27th to snow – Brrrr This was the view out our back window It snowed off and on for the next 3 days and was cold - in low 30’s during the day and in low 20’s at night for a few days.     It was quite a change from the warm weather we left in Arizona! May started warming up into the 50s and 60s until we got another snow storm on the 10 th – this was our last snow storm.   We only had a couple days of cold weather and then it started warming again. The park officially opened on May 1 st and a few campers started trickling in on that day.  ...
