You meet the best people

I had the distinct honor of meeting DQDICK in person yesterday. As it turns out by pure chance we may well be parked side by side when the wife and I join the literally thousands of oilfield workers descending upon Carlsbad,NM.

Dick was extraordinary helpful in addressing some questions I had about both desert camping and our unit in particular.

On a related note, I would strongly recommend that anyone who does not have to be there avoid any of the parks actually in Carlsbad itself for the next several years. They are totally overwhelmed by massive influx of new people. Dick and now I have found the one exception to that rule but it is a park several miles outside of the town. While the area is very interesting, it’s current traffic and congestion make it very dangerous area to transit.
