After 3 months at home getting stuff fixed, getting ourselves healthy and freezing our butts off, we're finally taking our show back on the road (hopefully for over a year). Our first stop was a National Recreation Area at the north end of the Tularosa Basin in southern New Mexico. In need of a quick activation so we can drive the rest of our journey EVERYTHING decides to get in my way.
