Randy does battle with wild pigs and we leave Sodona

After Pecore and Gail dropped us off at our trailer, we jumped into our comfortable bunks and prepared to get what we hoped would be a good night's sleep before beginning our long trip home. Sometime after midnight, Raven started barking. We finally settled her down and got back to sleep and she started again. Something was banging against the trailer and the dog was going crazy. Randy threw on his jeans while I offered advise from under my comforter. He opened the door and found two huge wild pigs trying to get Raven's dog food bag out of it's storage container. Randy banged on the door, he swore at them, nothing helped. I reminded him from the safety of my bunk, that he needed to keep his voice down. (this RV park was very strict about noise) Worrying about the ruckus going on at our trailer, Randy ended this nasty pig standoff by bravely snatching the dog food bag out of those porcine jaws. The pig terrorists gave up, snuffled off and we were able to sleep.

We had an uneventful trip until we reached the exit where tonight's RV park was located. A wrong turn took us down a road that seemed to have no place to turn a truck and trailer around. Randy took a chance on an open area with shallow ditches around it. Always my helpful self, I told him I didn't think it was a good idea. He did it anyway. As we bounced through the ditch and back onto the highway, Randy noticed something black bouncing down the road behind us... the trailer battery. Luckily, it was still tethered to the trailer cables. He retrieved it, replaced it in the battery compartment and we found the RV park. Sadly, the battery succumbed to it's wild ride down the road and died. No problem though, we are plugged into the park's power and all is well... for now.

Good night from Albuquerque.
