From the RV park in Fort Bliss to the end of the Fort Bliss boundary line we traveled 38 miles. That was just heading in one direction. I hadn’t realized Fort Bliss was so big. Before we got off the fort we saw something cross the road down a ways and thought it too big to be a dog. Sure enough, this coyote crossed the road and was just walking the shoulder along the median strip like nobody’s business.
LaVon….a dead tree for you!
Traffic wasn’t bad at all today.
What I had to look at as we drove down the road.
All day, we pretty much had the road to ourselves. We seldom shared it during long stretches.
We made it to Tucumcari, NM without incident. We decided to stay at the Elks Lodge as we knew they had an “RV park”. At $7.50 a night the price was certainly right. We decided to stay for two nights.
When we got there we found two other already in spaces and set up. We pulled in next to a 5th wheel and we just couldn’t our eyes off its tow vehicle.
It took the owner 8 months to “build” it and its made from scratch! The cab is circa 1941.
This couple was returning to California from a bike show I think was held in Oklahoma.
I went into the Elks Lodge to pay for our two nights and sitting in the lounge were all the same people we met here last September. I remembered all of them and they remembered me.
We don’t plan on doing anything while we’re here as we didn’t even unhook the truck all the way.
