Days 12,13,14 - The plan this morning is everyone rides by truck to Navajo Lake State Park. This was due to terrible dust storm (60 mile and hour winds, dust and debris). On the way our faithful truck developed a cooling problem, so every few miles we had to add anti-freeze, water, branch water and anything else we could think of. Of course, we were climbing up a steep grade going over a mountain range, it was Sunday and it was HOT. We had to turn our wonderful air-condition off and rough it into Bloomfield, New Mexico.
We spent the night at The Desert Rose RV Park (cannot recommend but it worked in an emergency). The next morning, the 24th, we found a wonderful truck repair place, Sweetland's Truck & Auto Repair Service in Farmington. Randy Sweetland replaced hoses, etc., added the proper mix coolant and I am out of there by noon and on our way to new destination of Lake Heron State Park where we registered for two night. We all needed a day of rest.
The kids rode their bikes as far as Dulce, NM and spent the night in a Best Western Motel and rejoined us on the 25th at Heron Lake.
