Hey Swampers! :wavey: This post will be an update on the progress of Rumbum and Chrispete and our motorhome adventure. I finally quit my job 8-31 and we left Austin on Sept 1st. We travelled Texas for a while visiting family and saying adios. We went to the Caverns of Sonora in West Texas, that place is gorgeous! It'd be a good weekend trip for any Texan. Our last stop in Texas was at Balmorhea. We've been touring New Mexico for a few weeks now. We've been to Carlsbad Caverns, Roswell, White Sands National Monument, Lincoln National Forest, Truth or Consequences hot springs, and now we're near Albuquerque where we attended the Balloon Fiesta. We dove Blue Hole, NM yesterday. The water was extremely clear and temp was 61 degrees. It's essentially an 81 ft deep vertical cavern zone; the cave at the bottom is grated closed. The locals have placed trinkets and toys on the ledges all around. The rock structures are neat and there is no life except a few goldfish that probably came from Walmart.
We have had to do a couple repairs. We've lost an air conditioner, Chris fixed the furnace, we have 2 failing levellers, we paid for a repair on the satellite dish (for internet service) already. We're learning to live on Chris's income, I'm learning to cook and to make alot of stuff homemade. We move about every 4 days to a week. If we run out of money we stay put until Chris gets paid again.
The next big goal is the Grand Canyon. After that we'll tour Arizona and we may move to Mexico for a week or so to dive the Sea of Cortez!
We're loving this lifestyle! It's perfect for us.
