Here's the deal. We're at the east end of south Park. I-25 adds an additional 80 miles to our usual destinations, so we prefer 285. There is much of nothing on that route all the way to Albuquerque. The Relief Route around Santa Fe to I-25 has nothing right along the highway. The first RV parks we've seen aren't seen until 9 miles west of ABQ on I-40. We like a couple of those, but they are a longer drive than we care to make these days.
Espanola's WalMart allows parking by Wendy's. We've never done a WM but just may try it. So it's slim pickins in good weather. Throw in bad weather, which we've encountered more than once, and I'm going to be looking for those churches. There are several of them along the way.
As for putting pressure on the pastor, isn't there something in Luke about no room at the inn? I'm sorry about your neighbors, bigdoggers.
