When I head back to Saginaw, I plan to report to our Moose Lodge that the friendliest Moose Center in the nation has to be in Albuquerque, NM. The folks were warm and receptive. We felt like we belonged from the minute we walked in the door. By the time we left, everyone knew we were “the folks from Michigan.” We kidded that we’d heard about their Thursday night hamburgs and that’s why we were visiting. The hamburgs really were great. But the people…. no way to explain how the welcome one receives makes a difference.

We actually considered staying an extra day just because of these folks.

The perks here included electric hookups and a convenient faucet. Can’t ask for more!

We did have one slight problem. Our RV battery leaked acid and it sprayed along the side of our unit. The paint was affected, but we have cleaned it up and a little paint should make it like new.

It is hot here in Albuquerque and the big news is a fire north from here.

It seemed that quite a few of the folks we met were Native American Indians, or of Mexican descent. All were long-time Albuquerque residents. All were welcoming, nice folks.
