Florida Spring Training 2018 - Day 7

We left the RV park about 9:00 am, stopped for gas and a truck stop mocha then headed east on 1-10.  The weather remained good – clear and virtually no wind.  Not much traffic either, just the trucks a few RVs and the usual fast-moving travelers in cars and pick-up trucks.

The road between Phoenix and Las Cruces, NM has a lot of spots subject to high winds and blowing dust. Road signs tell you to pull over, turn off the vehicle, stay buckled-in and wait for clear weather.  This is good advice but not a pleasant experience and best avoided.  Fortunately, the wind was almost calm and there was no dust in sight.

After lunch at a rest stop, we arrived at the RV park in Las Cruces about 3:30 pm.  We stay at this park, Hacienda RV Resort, every time we come this way. It is a great park and very comfortable.  We will be here two nights with activities tomorrow TBD.

After dinner at the local Cracker Barrel, it was early to bed after a long travel day.

Pictures tomorrow

Florida Spring Training 2017 - Day 10

It was a long travel day today - a little over 400 miles from Phoenix, AZ to Las Cruces, NM, just west of El Paso.  The weather was good however, sunny and no wind, and there wasn't much traffic, relatively speaking, on I-10.

We stopped for lunch at a rest stop on I-10 in the Texas Mountains, the site of the Apache Chief Cochise's last stronghold.

We arrived at the Hacienda RV Resort in Las Cruces about 5:30 pm.  We have stayed here several times before but this trip is just an "overnighter" so we didn't even bother to unhook our truck. We had dinner in the RV and plan to get an early start tomorrow to our next stop, Alpine, TX.
