Verde Valley, Arizona

We left Albuquerque this morning and are now settled in at Verde Valley, AZ. As you can see from the picture, I did help Dad with the driving, making sure he didn't get us lost. What a beautiful place. We enjoyed our stay in Albuquerque, even though I was not allowed to go on a hot air balloon ride. This morning as we were leaving Albuquerque we saw 12 hot air balloons flying around. While in the Albuquerque area, we did ride up to Bandelier National Monument and got to see the cliff dwellings of the ancestral Pueblos, dating back to the 1400's. Mom and Dad rode the tramway up to the top of Sandia Peak. One day we saw some professional skateboarders come down the Scenic Byway from Sandia Peak. Man, were they moving. We also went to Ft Sumner and found the grave of Billy The Kid.

We are excited about arriving in Arizona. Mom and Dad have a lot planned so I will keep you informed as we see and do things.

"Gettin' My Kicks....On Route 66"

Yes folks, I am getting my kicks on Route 66 in Tijeras, New Mexico. We arrived here today under very windy conditions. This park is at an elevation of 6300 feet, so we are in the mountains, just East of Albuquerque. Its great to be on the road again. We love Texas, but after 4 months there, we were ready to leave.

I had a pleasant surprise when we arrived today. My buddy Jackson, a chihuahua/miniature pinscher, who I played with in Texas, was here to greet me. He is here with his Mom and Dad.

Mom and Dad are going to take me to Ft Sumner, NM next Monday to find the grave of Billy The Kid. Also, I'm hoping to go on a hot air balloon ride. I sure hope they allow dogs.

Rodeo Play Day

Today we went to the Bay Landing Rodeo Play Day. Dad and his partner came in second in the sack race. Dad is showing off his cow chip that he threw in the cow chip toss. Mom, AKA Annie Oakley, is showing off her shooting ability. She was the top lady shooter.

This is our last weekend in Texas. Our next update will be from New Mexico.

Trikey's "Believe It Or Not"

Here is my surprise grave site..........................

Head for Aurora,Texas, "the town that almost was" as their tiny town history book states, to take a look at the burial site of an alien pilot that crashed its UFO there in 1897. This has been documented on The History Channel. The headstone has been stolen but we talked with a local who told us where to find it. Trike is standing on the base where the headstone was originally set.

Flying Our Flags

Hello everyone.... Here is a picture of me in front of our new flag holder with the US and Texas flags. The holder was made for us by our friend Joachim. He did a wonderful job! We really appreciate his efforts.

We have now left Lake Whitney. I had a lot of fun while there. My friends Missy and Tanzi came down and played for 4 days. I even got to go to Grand Prairie one evening to play with Miss Abby, while our folks went out to dinner.

We are now settled at Bay Landing in Bridgeport, TX. We will be here for 17 days. This is our last stop in Texas before we head West. On May 1st, we will head West to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. We are quite anxious to get on the road again and explore new places.

Stay tuned to my blog for a surprising grave site!!!

Happy Easter

My pal Bunny and I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. We will be celebrating Easter at Lake Texoma. Too bad Mom and Dad don't let me eat chocolate. They say chocolate is bad for dogs, so no chocolate bunnies for me.

I am glad Spring is here. Today it was 78 degrees so after Mom and Dad did some grocery shopping, we all went for a ride on the trike. It was so nice riding on a warm sunny day. Tuesday we had to stay in all day as we had 6 inches of rain. I'm having a lot of fun this week with all of the kids and dogs here on Spring Break.

Happy Easter everyone!

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St Patrick's Day from Gordonville. Yes, we are in Gordonville, TX, on the shores of Lake Texoma, which is also the Texas - Oklahoma border. We are having a great time here, enjoying the weird Texas weather. Last Friday there was 6 inches of snow on the ground and today it was sunny and 88 degrees. What a change! We will be here until March 31st. Spring Break is now starting so the park is loaded with kids and dogs for me to play with.

We were glad to get away from all the rain at Lake Tawakoni. It had rained so much that the lake was within 5 feet of the trailer across the drive from us. Mom and Dad had problems getting our trailer out with all the water and mud, but we made it. I even learned some new words from Dad while he was struggling with the trailer.

With diesel prices being so outrageous, Mom and Dad are reworking our travel plans for the summer. We will still be traveling but our stays at parks will be longer. I did hear them talking about the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas.

I guess this is all for now. Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone.
