November was a travel month for us. We left Quincy October 30th and headed for Las Vegas to look at a couple of parks we were thinking about working at. Turns out we decided to quit thinking about them. We then continued on our journey to our new job. We stopped in Williams, Arizona and decided to take the Grand Canyon R.R. to the Grand Canyon.
We rode coach due to the fact it was the cheapest. You have to remember that I'm Dutch. It was a nice trip up to to the canyon and it took us right up to the south rim which was just a short walk from the station. If you've never been to the Grand Canyon you're missing a wonderful sight. Pictures just don't do it justice...it's one of those places you have to see for yourself.
We had about three to four hours before the train headed back to Williams. We had time to walk along the rim and marvel at the views.With the sun and clouds changing the look of the canyon by the minute it was just beautiful. If you're ever in the area of the Grand Canyon, take the time to visit; it is an experience you will never forget.
These are just four of the 127 pictures I took and as I said, the pictures are nice but you really need to see it in person to really appreciate it.
I was able to get Holly to walk out on the point for this picture. Braver then me but she kept saying "hurry up and take it". This is one of my favorite shots . As usual all good things come to an end, so it was back on the train and back to the campground. The next morning we were on the road to Elephant Butte State Park to visit old friends. This is the first park we spent a whole winter at and wanted to stop and see how things looked.
We took the kids to the beach at EBSP and let them run. They had a blast. Brutus was with us when we volunteered there and he showed Ruby around. We spent three nights there and they both went to the beach a couple of times and enjoyed being able to run and run. We went out to eat a couple of times with friends and had a great time ourselves.
We arrived at Schulenburg RV Park on November 7. Turns out they were not expecting us for another week so we left the motor home there and drove home for a few days and then drove back to Texas. This is a real nice park; the owners are great. The other work campers are also nice and have been very helpful in getting us acclimated.
We have a nice site although a little narrow, and there's a DQ right next door. We work two days and have six off so we will have time to explore and see some new sights. We have visited some of the other towns around here and are getting a feeling for the area. That's it, next month we will start exploring and sharing it with "ya'll". See ya next month.
