We had a very quiet night at the Deming Walmart. No RVs but tons of trucks. When we woke at 8 o'clock we had breakfast and when I stepped out into the warm morning air I saw that my exit from the parking lot was filled with a truck, so Nick and I quickly unhooked the Jeep and I backed the White Lion out of our parking space and hooked back up. No big deal.
We were on our way toward Tucson, Arizona by 9 o'clock. The western section of New Mexico was pretty with all the mountains. The grades up the mountains was sometimes stressful with the stress on the MH but we made them without too much problem.
It was only 86 miles to the Arizona border.
It wasn't long before we entered Tucson and I saw the sign pointing to Pima County Fairgrounds and decided a couple days rest at an RV Park would be just what the doctor ordered. It was about 1 o'clock and the temperature was 85 degrees. HOT! Heard on the news later that today broke the heat record for this date set back in 1922 at 84.
We both took showers and did a little resting before it was time for me to setup the TV for "Survivor" tonight.
Beautiful sunset on the mountains near here tonight.
We had dinner and watched the news and then it was showtime. It was a good one with a great twist and all came out right. The person I wanted out was voted out! Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.
Time to finish this blog and hit the sack. Already after 9 o'clock and past my bedtime!😔
Awww....such good memories of our time there with you and Yuma. Elva
ReplyDeleteYes. We'll be here for a few days and then we'll be on our way.
DeleteAfter five days on the road nice to be in a park for a couple of days to just relax. I do like the ride through the Texas Canyon. We want to stop in Tucson on our way back east in the spring and I was going to ask where you stop there now I know...lol Enjoy your stop.
ReplyDeleteYes it is nice to finally rest and have a cup of coffee. This is a nice place to stay. $30 a night if you don't have discount membership.
DeleteTexas Canyon ... one of my favorites. Can't you just imagine riding through that horseback? Glad you made it safely to the fairgrounds. I'm surprised at the temps ... maybe we won't have snow this year!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteAlways like that rest stop. Beautiful and rugged. Glad for the warm weather. Hope it lasts.
DeleteGreat idea to have a rest for a couple of days. What a beautiful area to stop.
ReplyDeleteYes, I needed the rest. Was getting worn down and this is a nice place to rest.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of your arrival in Arizona. Poor Yuma. I'll bet he wishes he was here with s Acker and Copper to play witb.😃with. I m sure all of you will enjoy a couple days rest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolly. We're all enjoying sitting outside in the shade 😎
DeleteNice to read that you watch Survivor, thank you for not giving away the ending of that episode. We can't believe we have been watching that show since it started. Safe travels to you, Nick and Yuma!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. Dolly and I have too. Great show.
DeleteWelcome back to AZ. Glad it was an uneventful trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gaelyn. Looking forward to meeting up with you again this winter.
DeleteDoug, it was a pleasure to meet you, Yuma and Nick today (12/2) at the fairgrounds. In my blog post I hope to send people to your Thursday Blog to see the picture that Nick took of us. Thanks for coming by to meet Marcia, she enjoyed that a lot. Safe travels. --Dave (GoingRvWay.com)
