I, too, was confronted by tornadoes. As I entered New Mexico, the first
Tornado Warning was issued by AM radio. As I entered the modest State campground near Roswell, perhaps 50 children and parents were using the provided playground. I advised them of the warning, then drove around the small campground for a suitable spot. After completing the small loop of maybe 30 spaces, I'd returned to the playground, and found it had emptied out.
Ultimately, I'd picked a campground with nobody in it!
As for the 8-minute movie clip of Lucie and Desie, I could sympathize with their dilemma of trailering through mountain passes. The only thing missing was steam.
I won't spoil the ending, which is very telling, as most Eastern flatlanders become collectors of such things when they head out West.
