Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico


We are here in Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico.

The country is just awesome. Pictures just don't do it justice. The mountain behind the tower on the right is about 50 miles away, and the mountains on the left are about 300 miles away.

Gonna soak in the hot springs today.

Snow in W. TX - Dog's first snow


Ok take this snow and shove it. We don't do cold anymore. It should be in the high 70s here at this time of the year. About an inch and a half and still coming down fairly heavy. They are saying it's going to snow all night. This is the first snow that Niki has ever seen. She didn't know what to make of it, but after a few minutes she thought it was fun. I kept telling her whe wasn't a husky and I didn't say mush.

Paisano Pete welcomed us to Ft. Stockton

On the road Ft. Stocton TX

Last Aug. Chris and I started on our wandering. We've been to GA, AL, MS, AR, MO, IA, KS, OK and TX now.

We've been playing music when we can get a gig.

This seemed like a easy way to keep people updated.
