KOA Journey

Stopped for the night to break up the long drive between Carlsbad & Arches. Although this KOA is definitely slumming it compared to last night, it'll do for a few hours of sleep. The ground is less rocky here, which is nice, but the showers are old & claustrophobic feeling. There was a burn ban, so no fire for marshmallows, and it was too windy for our charcoal to stay lit, so we had lukewarm canned chili, sandwhiches, & cold s'mores for dinner. The manager seems very proud of his lava rocks & the nearby volcano, which he stopped by to talk to us about. There are also horses next door, so it smells a bit like rodeo here. But there is a nice view & free wifi, so I can post this without using my data.

Update: 7:30 am- Flies love horses! We awoke to flies all over the outside of our tent. I added a pic of some of the horses. And God bless ear plugs because we were apparently near a frequently used train track. On a positive note, we found a hot plate & a sink back by the laundry room & Keri made some excellent breakfast tacos. ☺Read more
