A day of driving so some
road side observations: pecan nut farms, signs for how to deal with a
sand storms, tumbleweed, lots and lots of trucks, border control
stations checking the trucks (they keep asking us if we are US
citizens, despite our Ontario plates on the car...).
Since we are heading
towards a mountain pass and the weather is a bit colder than usual we
need to be a bit lucky with our overnight stops. We decided not to
stop in El Paso since it is a very busy city so we keep driving.
Unfortunately we luck out
at the casino just across the state border in New Mexico. Just 15
mins before we arrive they had filled the last spot. Many casinos
here have hook-ups for RV's!
So we drive on again. A
bit further in New Mexico we finally set up at the campground in the
dark. We put the tap on a very slow drip just in case it dips below
freezing tonight.
Today: 514km - 6h54m
