If you read entry 15, I visited White Sands National Monument. Afterwards, I went back to my hotel to crash in igloo temps after my polar bear skin was beginning to melt from New Mexico summer temps.
Heard a knock on my motel door, it was the nice old Indian gentleman and proprietor of the motel. He asked if I had any laundry he could wash for me. I said certainly as my riding gear was drenched with manimal perspiration. That nice old man returned a couple hours later with all my laundry fresh n clean. I asked him how much I owed him for his services, he answered nothing. WHAT? I tried to give him money, he said no. What a wonderful world we live in, where some are willing to help without expecting anything in return.
Later on after dinner, I was bored, didn't feel like watching television, I opened my motel door and saw the old Indian sitting on his swing. So, I strolled on over for to shoot the shyte. Ended up talking for over an hour. He was a sweet old man. His son, who ran the joint and front office, as he spoke fluent English, returned from a day trip and saw his father and I sitting on the swing. He figured his father was bothering me. I told him not at all, we've been enjoying a nice chat, even though we couldn't understand each others words.
The son laughed, told me thank you for listening to his father vent about his mom!! Told me if I wanted to stay longer they'd drastically reduce the price. So, I booked another night just to relax in my comfortable room and regroup.
It was July 2nd before I decided to leave Alamogordo towards Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, in hopes of booking a room on the river with hot natural springs. I was making good time when I began seeing signs for White Sands Missile Range Museum. I couldn't pass that up.
It's a military base, one has to go through extensive background checks to gain entry. Not as easy as simply driving up to the museum. I had to be interviewed to gain entry onto the base. I can't believe they let an old outlaw like me in, there had to be a mistake, but I made it.
Here's what I saw in peekchas.
