Back from New Mexico

We made it back just before dinner last night. The trip back was pretty good, we made good time and the Piggle did alright. We hit some gnarly rain south of Abilene which sucked due to my crappy windshield wipers! It also got very calm and quiet right after we went through a big cell of rain, then the wind started gusting really hard and there were very dark, strange clouds that seemed to be trailing downward. I was a little worried we were about to run smack into the middle of a tornado! But we finally moved far enough south and left it all behind.

The trip itself was interesting. I did get alot of visiting in with family and friends, but it was a little stressful at times as we were stranded in the upper canyon of Ruidoso for 2 days after a huge flood took out most of the canyon bridges! We had no way to get out, limited food and our water eventually stopped. It was a little nerve-racking, especially with two small children. But I had my mom and we managed. We actually had expected to be stranded for much longer, but thanks to "The Guvna" they made a change in plans. Anyway, there will be a more descriptive post to follow once I download pics and recuperate from my travels. But all in all, the trip was good and we are now home safe and sounds with lots of stories to tell! And I took a million photos!
