Day 8 and Long Trains

Where Are Today

Picacho Peak RV Resort

Red Rock Az.

Today’s 347.5-mile journey started out at 8:10 this morning. Travelling I-25 for about 38 miles to Hatch NM. Where we took exit 41 onto U.S. 26. Other than a couple of rough spots, both these highways are in good condition so I will give them an 8 out of 10.

I-10 in New Mexico

 Carrying on to Deming NM, we picked up I-10W, which again is in good condition, with a rating of 8 out of 10 also. Crossing into Arizona that all changes. Although there are some smooth sections, there are many not so smooth, especially the bridges. My rating for this section to our stop tonight is only 7 out of 10.

Always think of my dad, when we see the trains. These trains can be over a mile long with upto 6 engines.

We are here for two nights visiting long time friends Ken and Nancy.

Thankfully we had no issues today, with sunny clear blue skies. Thanks for stopping by, until the next time, take care. Don’t forget to check out Pat’s blog. HERE
