Greetings from our home base in Deming, New Mexico! We made it home on Tuesday after spending four nights at Leasburg Dam State Park near Radium Springs, concluding our eight-night shakedown cruise in our new rig, Lizzy 3. If you read our last post, you know that we spent the first four nights dry-camping at … Continue reading Lizzy 3 Shakedown Wrap-Up, Leasburg Dam

Inside Lizzy 3 | Prepping for Our First Outing

March 2, 2021March 2, 2021 / Suzanne Hight / 5 Comments

We've been the happy owners of Lizzy 3 for a little over a month now, and we're still so excited! It just makes my heart happy to look out my dining room window and see her parked in the driveway right next to our home base, just waiting for us to take her on a … Continue reading Inside Lizzy 3 | Prepping for Our First Outing

Moving Day – Change of Plans

November 19, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / 1 Comment

As we told you in our last post, yesterday (Sunday) was moving day because we had hit our 14-day limit at Leasburg Dam State Park in Radium Springs, NM. We had prepped the RV for boondocking, with plans to start heading west toward Arizona. Well, the great thing about this lifestyle is that you can … Continue reading Moving Day – Change of Plans

Our First Sub-Freezing Night In Our RV

November 13, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / 1 Comment

Baby, it's cold outside! The cold arctic blast that is sweeping through the country made its way into south-central New Mexico yesterday (Monday), as forecasted. We made a trip into Las Cruces after lunch yesterday to pick up some groceries. When we left the campground, it was sunny to partly cloudy and in the mid-50's. … Continue reading Our First Sub-Freezing Night In Our RV

Winter Is Coming So Why Aren’t We Moving?

November 9, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / 5 Comments

So far our return visit to Leasburg Dam State Park has been nice. The afternoon temperatures have been in the low-to-mid 70s with clear blue skies and very low humidity. It gets pretty windy starting about lunchtime and stays that way until a couple of hours after sundown, but there's not a lot of dust … Continue reading Winter Is Coming So Why Aren’t We Moving?

Goodbye to the Best Campsite Ever (So Far)

November 5, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / Leave a comment

Yesterday was moving day. We had stayed at Elephant Butte Lake State Park for 14 nights, which is the limit here in New Mexico. After 14 nights you have to leave the park for at least 6 nights before you can return for overnight camping. We can understand why they have the 14 day limit, … Continue reading Goodbye to the Best Campsite Ever (So Far)

Cookies, Toilets and Travel Plans

October 11, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / Leave a comment

Today marks one week that we've been camped here at Leasburg Dam State Park, and honestly, I wish we could stay here indefinitely. Unfortunately, they have a fourteen-day limit, after which you must be out of the park for at least six days before you can come back. Besides, I want to visit Santa Fe … Continue reading Cookies, Toilets and Travel Plans

Settling In to Full Time RV Life

October 9, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / 4 Comments

It's been just over six weeks since we moved into our RV, Lizzy, full time after selling our house and almost all our possessions. Those six weeks have not been without challenges, but we're starting to get into a groove now as we settle into our new lifestyle. The weather here in New Mexico has … Continue reading Settling In to Full Time RV Life

New Mexico – I’m In My Happy Place

October 5, 2018 / Suzanne Hight / 3 Comments

Good Friday morning from Leasburg Dam State Park in Radium Springs, New Mexico, about 15 miles north of Las Cruces. I just spent an hour sitting in my lawn chair in my pajamas and slippers, sipping my coffee and watching the sunrise. I'm in my happy place! But getting here was a little bit stressful. … Continue reading New Mexico – I’m In My Happy Place
