Packing up to leave is so easy with this motorhome. Unplug and drive off!
Even though we could not tell, today was a steady climb all day, climbing to 4,000 ft as we passed through Abilene and Lubbock. It wasn’t the most interesting eight hours of travel. Highlights were oil wells, wind turbines, a sandstorm, and a very long train.
Our destination was Windrush Alpaca Farm, just over the state line in Clovis, New Mexico. We were warmly welcomed by our “Harvest Hosts,” Rose and Rick. Rose was also from England, about thirty miles from where I grew up! They introduced us to each of their 32 alpacas, and explained details like their split top lip, no upper front teeth, three stomachs, and foot pads like Saydee! They are related to camels.
Saydee had mixed feelings:
It was such fun running around the farm. The alpacas were big and fluffy. They had guinea fowl to eat ticks which hurt the alpacas. They had chickens to stop the guinea fowl leaving. I chased a rabbit! The 32-year-old horse was a bit shy around me. And I chased a rabbit. The farm cat nearly ruined everything just by existing….
As the sun set, we retreated to Arvan after a great evening with our new fluffy friends.
