You may notice a detour in our route to Albuquerque. We still need propane for the coach so we are going to stop at Amerigas again this morning, they are supposed to open at 8:00. We got there at 9:30 and this time I didn’t turn into the yard before I looked to see the yard gate closed again. We continued south looking for a place to get off the road and do some googling to find propane. Several miles down the road I saw an Amerigas bottle delivery truck pull into an Albertson’s parking lot. I followed him in and parked in the exit road, the little islands they put in some parking lots make it difficult for our 53 feet of coach and tow to maneuver around. The Amerigas driver was really nice and pointed us toward an Ace Hardware a half mile down the road where we got propane. He did call the Amerigas yard and confirm the yard person to fill bottles did not show for work again. To get the coach close enough to fill with propane I did have to unhook the pickup again.

This is the first place we set up camp. It has a great view over the RV Park towards the launch field. I did find out the one person in a white pickup trumps three people in two golf carts. After three of us had camp set up a guy in a white pickup came by and said we could not park where we were and HAD to move.

This is our second and final spot. On a level ridge with significant drop offs on both sides. We were level.

We made the correct decision to move south a day early. I talked to some folks who spent Monday night in Farmington and it rained hard all night. We are all set up and ready for almost two weeks of balloons.
