How Did We End Up In New Mexico?

Well, that's a good question.

First, some background info and RV lingo. Workamping is the term used for people who work at campgrounds in exchange for their site and hook ups (water, sewer, electric, cable and wifi here).

If you're curious about the different opportunities available, just Google "workamping" like we did. That lead us to a number of sites listing different job opportunities. Something about the listing for this job appealed to us, so I called and spoke with Rachel, the office manager to get the details. After a couple of phone calls she said "why don't you guys come on out and we'll see how it goes."

That was enough for us, so we diverted our course and headed west. Far west.

Since time and money were in short supply, we didn't get a hitch to tow the car, so we both ended up driving. Dooley and I in the little red car, following Chris in the motor home. Along the way we stopped at campgrounds in Illinois, Oklahoma, and Amarillo, Texas before arriving here in Bernalillo (pronounced Burn-a-lee-o), New Mexico, which is about 15 miles north of Albuquerque.

Of course, I have to include this video. It's eerily similar to our trip.
