Campsite Roulette in Elephant Butte Lake SP New Mexico
As I mentioned in our last post, we decided to leave Percha Dam State Park on Sunday because they did not have a dump station, and we made reservations for a 10-night stay in Elephant Butte Lake State Park.

Toilet Surgery, Rain and Birthday Shopping
I am pleased to report that our toilet repair project was successful! Andy had done a lot of research by watching YouTube videos and even contacting the manufacturer to make sure he was clear on how to go about removing the toilet, replacing the seals and then reattaching everything. And all that research paid off … Continue reading Toilet Surgery, Rain and Birthday Shopping
