June 8, 2015 - Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Brantley Lakes State Park, New Mexico

Well, spent 4 1/2 hours in Pecos, Texas at the Chevy Dealership and finally leaving at 1:30. Whew!  The problem was a sensor on the front right hub, which they replaced.  Now the trailer brakes work fine!  Crossed into New Mexico and mountain time an hour later.  There is so much traffic - all related to the oil boom out here.

At the caverns, we walked the Big Room tour.  So pretty! We figured it has been about 25 years since we have been here.

Well, it feels as though we are really being put to the test!  When we got ready to leave, the truck wouldn't start.  What now.....  It does pay off to have OnStar and a truck cell phone.  Got in touch with a mechanic in Carlsbad, who suggested it was vapor locked.  And it was.

So on our way again.  We had a reservation at Bottomless Lakes state park, but it was getting late. We got a good site instead at Brantley Lakes.  Cooked burgers, did a little hiking, and Aiden enjoyed a really good playground.

Praying tomorrow will be an awesome, safe day to our next stop!

(Sites 18 & 19 are good reservable sites.)
