Van Horn RV Park, Van Horn Texas

 We woke up early and left Las Cruces, NM, heading down the highway to Van Horn, Texas. The journey was smooth and uneventful, and the driver was pleased as there was very little wind towards the end. After arriving, we set everything up for our one-night stay before hitting the road again tomorrow.

Nice little RV park, easy access from the highway.

Hacienda RV Resort, Las Cruces New Mexico

We have arrived at our RV site and settled in. The wind is blowing, and it is cold this morning with heavy overcast skies. The forecast predicts that it might rain, but nothing has happened yet. The temperature is in the 50s, and we have turned on the heater in the RV. It's a nice little spot for our RV. The park is well-maintained, and there is a pet run available for those who have pets.

Tucson across to Las Cruces New Mexico

 Wow, I'm so relieved we made it here after 243 miles from Tucson to Las Cruces, New Mexico, despite the strong winds blowing across the land. The gusts were up to 50 mph, and it was very windy throughout most of the way. There was only one part where the winds pushed us, but otherwise, it was quite challenging for the driver, let alone the passenger.

 We encountered dust blowing around in the background, thank goodness it never really amounted to a major dust storm, like I guess they can have, where you need to pull over on the side of the road, stop, and get your foot off the brake so that another vehicle won't hit you, thinking you're moving. 

We had a close call with a semi-truck. As we were passing the truck, it either got blown by the wind or didn't see us and started crossing the center line. I was screaming "NO" in the truck, and Galen was on the shoulder hanging on to it, but the truck finally pulled back into its lane. Later, we were following a travel trailer that was going too fast, and its back end was swaying all over the place. We had to get past it quickly, afraid it might lose control.

 Made it from Sedona to Tucson in just over 4 hours. We had good weather for travel and are now staying at Rincon County West RV Park.

We visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and found it to be worth the admission cost. There were many cacti to see, which we especially enjoyed.
