Yesterday morning, around 10:30 and
53*F., we left Elephant Butte State Park
in New Mexico, packing up between the rain bursts. After a short drive thru
Truth Or Consequences we were back on I
25 South heading for Hatch, Az. and exit 41 to NM.26 S.

The rain has stopped and we are now in clear blue skies. Driving thru Hatch we saw a lot of chili hanging out for sale. At the town of Deming NM, we picked up I10 W., shortly after, 12:30-12:50 pm we pulled into a rest are to stretch our legs then continued on westward, crossing the Continental Divide 51 miles from Arizona.

All in all, it was a good driving
day, good roads and little traffic. Setup and relax, then supper. Limited TV
here so we watched a DVD until bedtime, tomorrow I will set up our satellite
dish.
Thanks for following along, until the
next time, take care and be safe.
We have been that way many times always interesting, keep having fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks George, will start do some exploring tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying your visit to our great Southwest. There's just no place like it, and it's certainly a favorite of ours. By the way, I would like to compliment you for including your location at the beginning of your posts. So many bloggers don't realize what a thoughtful accommodation this is for their readers and how much it is appreciated. Searching old posts to find out someone's location is frustrating and not something most readers will do. Kudos!
ReplyDeletePicked up the location idea from fellow bloggers, makes it easy for us to, when looking back. We love the southwest, this has been dream to come this way for three + years now. Our home decor, when we had a house, was in the southwest theme, even had a cactus for a few years. Thanks Mike.
DeleteWe have enjoyed following your journey and keeping track on our map for future travels! Safe journey!
