Day 18 Colorado Springs to Ruidoso

Day 18 July 21
Colorado Springs to Ruidoso
We drove to Ruidoso. Very uneventful except for a stop at a roadside park where I found a cell phone. I called the listing for Mom and mailed it to her so she could send it back to her son who was on his way to take his wife to a doctor in Mexico. It felt so good to get back to Ruidoso. They had a lot of rain so everything was very wet. For several days we just laid around except for a trip to Alamogordo to see Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D. It was a lot of fun. We also went to The Annual Ruidoso Art Show and saw a lot of interesting works. Saturday, July 26, we drove to Dallas to pick up ‘the girls”, Maggie and Rosy. They had been vacationing with Linda, Paul, Rocky, and Tribble. We finally made it to Austin on Sunday, July 27 with lots of great memories.
The day we left Ruidoso the remains of Hurricane Dolly hit and killed 2 people and knocked out all the bridges except the one on Mecham. Evidently our house did not receive any damage.
