This was another of our return visits to a first year tour stop. Andrew Bencomo was on duty that day, and was pretty much the only one there to show us around. We missed him this time, but his guys stepped up without delay ... Once they heard the doorbell, that is. ( ;
Back then, we sure weren't shooting thousands of photos on the tour. And the picture I got of him next to their rig was not true color. The rig looked hot pink, and it was commented on ... "Do they reallllly have pink trucks in Las Cruces?!" I can answer you that without any question in my mind, no, they do not.
They have big beautiful red rigs, with decals saluting their 100th anniversary. They have a nice station, they have a love of volleyball, and a seriously wicked fun sense of humor!
We get a lot of questions now that we're back home about Rookie's volleyball "ear ring" ... you kinda had to be there to understand this one, but hopefully the pictures will explain a lot of the questions. ( ;
These guys made us feel at home, and even made sure we had a really nice room for the night. We thank them all.
And yes, we would love to visit y'all again!
Class acts in Las Cruces!!!

PS ... After we left the next morning, we had gotten rumors of a film being made. along our route. Very hush hush stuff. We took a few quick pix outside the shoot, and are posting them here. Not gonna tell you what the movie is, but see if you can guess. And if not, we'll tell you once it is released, k?
We also made it to "The Thing" *woo-oo-ooo* lol I'd been there before, with the kids. But I promised Kathy and Kelly if they were good girls, I'd splurge and treat them to a trip through "The Thing". They behaved, and I busted out the $1.50 to get them both in. Hey, it was first class all the way on the tour! So hard to explain. It must be one of the greatest secrets of all times! So, far be it from us to reveal it. You'll just have to behave and maybe someone will treat you to a trip there!!! hehe
