on the way home

In Las Cruces, NM I drove the coach down to Mesilla to look around. I parked at the visitor center and walked to the old part of town. There was a church with a park in front and shops all around the block. Neat place. You can see the little stands in the park also selling things. It was a beautiful day. After that, it was onward back to TX.

Old Tucson

No vacation is complete without some kind of contact with horses! This one was no different. These "big heavies" (the horses not me) pulled a stagecoach through Old Tucson. Yes we did ride it.

Nogales, AZ

This is a border town in AZ /Mexico. I did not have my passport so we could not go into Mexico. We walked down to the border and watched cars going through and people walking through. We got a scowl from a Border Patrolman so we moved on.

The other shot is the great wall with cameras mounted above. This is one ugly wall. Your tax dollars at work!

Las Cruces, NM

These are sketches I did while traveling to NM. These are my mental images of the trek through West TX on the was to El Paso. The day today was rainy so not a good day to be outside. Might as well drive. I am in an RV park in Las Cruces and the snow-covered mountains are right outside my window. Hopefully, I can capture them in my journal tonight. I even had a little sunlight trickle in the RV. Love it.

Big Spring, TX

I arrived at Big Spring this afternoon. The park is small and very graveled. No pavement at all. They do have a dog park. Kidd spent a lot of time there smelling. We met a Great Pyrenees who rides on the dash of his motorhome. Yes, he is huge and very friendly. His "Mom" was very friendly too. My neighbors are from Minnesota spending the winter in TX. They were checking out my scooter and ramp. All is well. Couldn't load pics because the internet is too slow.
