Well...we are NOT going camping :(.
Last night, after traveling to Lubbock & being COMPLETELY packed, spending over 150$ on food, another 100$ on supplies, we learned we will not be camping this week.
One of my parent's friends called to tell him that he was IN Ruidoso and the town had been flooded. The cute river, Rio ruidoso (noisy river), had been flooded by the hurricane storm that swept through mexico, far west texas and now New Mexico. 500 people had to be evacuated and 2 were missing. The campgrounds are probably demolished & I'm sure the river made new paths. The river rarely floods, but every 20 years or so, it does & does great damage. The river is the one that is about 10 feet from where we put our tent every year.
THANK GOD we were NOT THERE when it flooded. I can't imagine what we would have done. We would have lost a lot of supplies and who knows what else.
Sucky thing is that we won't be going next year because camping isn't fun with a kiddo who can't walk...and Natalie will be around 7 or 8 months old. Who knows...maybe we'll go stay in a cabin. FOR SURE we are going in 2010. URGHHHHHH....
Fun note...we're going to Austin instead! Thanks Auntie Suzanne!!!
