Awake 6:02am Temp 41 Some light rain...then sunny Overnight Las Cruces
Attend 8:15 mass @ I. H. of M. Afterward make a quick stop @ Albertson's
grocery store.
After breakfast, we both shower in the campground clubhouse...the best
shower yet, aside from our bus. Their individual rooms include a bathroom
toilet, enclosed shower, sink with mirror, a sitting chair & mats. Had we
known how nice it was, we might have showered long before this.
Leave the Sunny Acres RV park @ 11:31am. Entering the state of Texas, we
stop @ the Tourist Information building where Kathy loads up on brochures,
magazines, maps etc for the route we are likely to take. While she's doing
that, I take time to calculate how much fuel remaining we have & how many
miles we can reasonably make with that amount of fuel. Having that
estimate, our next stop is a Flying J truck stop to top off our 234 gallon
tank.
We arrive @ the small Samson RV park @ 1:45pm.
Today's travel: 1+33 67 miles 8.5 gal 7.87 mpg 45.8 avg speed.
This park is undoubtedly the smallest RV park we've been in yet....but it
too, is BIG rig friendly.
After parking & hooking up, we drive the Suzuki into El Paso & do a little
sight seeing + light shopping. Back to our bus @ 4:30. Then a little more
curious driving to see the small towns of Horizon & Socorro nearby.
8:30pm Dinner: Crab cakes, German potato salad from a can & fresh mixed
salad.
9:00pm Watch Barbara Walters on 20/20 & her coverage of some of the stars
who had a difficult home life but made it big in Hollywood.
High temp today=54 Light out: 12:45am
