Cochiti Lake

Today we sit at Cochite Lake.  Was a warm day, but not too long a drive.  A nice view from the camper surrounded by mountains in every direction.  Every year a big battle ensues with Verizon, their service is hopeless when you travel. Here we sit withing a thousand feet of their tower, and the internet is slower than molasses running uphill.  We may be stuck here an extra day because tomorrow will be too windy to travel. However, for ten bucks a night this place is hard to beat.  So tomorrow may be a cycle ride or just some local exploring.

The people camping next to us came over and asked for advice on how to be warm and have electricity, in a nice place all at low cost.  First we told them to get to a lower elevation, then Kadizzle tried to explain that unless you have a generator and can get off the grid low cost is not an option. There are plenty of really nice places to camp  if you do not have to be plugged in.  Most of the really nice spots are free, or three dollars per night, but you need a Honda generator, or a good solar set up.  We do have amazing TV here.  We are get free digital TV over the air and have about thirty channels to chose from.  The internet finally seems to be working a little faster so we will have a couple of entertainment options tonight.  The Commander said we are having grilled lamb tonight, so it is time to grill.
