We left our Route 66 RV park and stopped outside of Albuquerque at the Petryglyph national monument. It was so fascinating to see pictures carved onto rocks from 700 years ago by American Indians. 
Then we drove to Las Cruces and stayed at Leesburg state Park for a couple of nights. We went to the farming museum and an old Mexican Town, Mesilla, outside of Las Cruces.
Camping was great. We were next to yucca and prickly pear cactus and had water & electricity for $14. We walked down to the Rio Grande river, which was down to a small stream because water had not been let out of the dam.
Sunday we went to church and then headed to White Sands National monument east of Las Cruces. It was interesting and so hot!
Then it was a long drive via El Paso TX to the Guadeloupe Mountains and on past Carlsbad to Brantley Lake State Park. In the morning we went to Carlsbad Caverns and the caves were amazing. My pictures do not do justice!
That night we had a tremendous storm with fierce lightening and thunder and hail and winds that rocked the RV. It was beautiful and frightening! There was no way to sleep and we just waited it out. My weather app gave me warning but no way anyone would try to drive! In the morning it was sunny and we were glad to get on the road.
Glad you are safe. Tornadoes, earthquakes, and a tropical storm are all over the news. Be careful out there. See you soon.
