It's so cool to meet another fulltimer on DU. We sold our condo in Maryland last October and drove our Class B RV (campervan) to Houston to buy a motorhome. We hung out in Texas and New Mexico this Winter/Spring but now we're heading back to Maryland for a visit and to clean out the storage unit.

We plan to spend a lot of time in New Mexico. We bought a NM state park pass for $225 so we can stay in any New Mexico state park for a year and only have to pay $4 a night for a site with water and electricity or free for the non-electric sites. We really like the NM state parks so we figured that would be a good way to save money for the months when we're traveling more.

Have you ever read the blog "Travels With Andy?" He spends most of his time in the New Mexico state parks. He doesn't blog much anymore but his early posts have a lot of good info about New Mexico.

Are you in Texas now? We're at Caprock Canyon, just left Palo Duro today. It IS hot. We're only planning to stay a few days on our way back east.

Good luck in your travels! Keep in touch.
