Sharing photos, videos, vintage images I've discovered, and -- occasionally -- commentary and thoughts from retired life and travels.

This New Mexico KOA is a bit different from the normal Kamgrounds of America, Inc. franchise.

The camping area is little more than a large graveled parking lot with full hookups and wifi.  However, this is the desert, and, situated just off I-40, it is a quite adequate overnight stop for travelers in RVs on the way to somewhere else.  There is a very large laundromat, open to the public.  We would stay here again, with no hesitation.

We stayed here in  on our way home on our August and September 2007 trip.

That is one area of tourism that Ireland both North and South, falls down.

I had to look up the size of Ireland. Hadn’t really thought of people camping in Ireland. It’s larger than I thought. It’s roughly 1.6 times the size of Arkansas,

If we had had places like the trailer camps as you call them, my life time ambition of leisurely seeing India would come true! We do not even have one. My plans to build a camper had to take that fact into account!

For some people here, it’s actually a year round life style — modern day nomads in their own self contained traveling homes.
