Jan 25 & 26, Thursday & Friday--On the Road Again

We left Tucson this morning, somewhat sad to say goodby to Jason and his family, but excited about what we may discover in this part of our journey.  We met some very nice people in our RV park and our church, and had wonderful times with Jason & Starr & kids.

We journeyed as far as Las Cruces, NM today.  We drove through a lot of desert, and I really didn't feel inspired to take photos.  The scenery was much like that of our earlier time in NM.



On Friday, we left Las Cruces for a long drive to Odessa, TX.  The scenery gradually changed, but still wasn't anything like Flathead Valley, MT!

 We crossed into Texas and were greeted by this big "Lone Star" beside the overpass.

We passed by El Paso on I-10, and while we couldn't see the Rio Grande River, we could see the mountains on the other side of the river, which are in Mexico. This was as close as we came to "seeing Mexico".

We spent the night in the Walmart parking lot, which worked out fine since we got in late and were tired.
