Our first stop today was a waypoint right next to the USA-Mexico border wall (railroad tracks – road – border wall – Rio Grande river – City of Juarez, MX). We actually got to touch the border wall (and no, there wasn’t anyone crossing illegally where we were, unlike the images we see on TV). … Continue reading Backtrack to El Paso TX – border fence!

journey to Las Cruces NM
Not only are there no services, but there are also nearly no inhabitants. Most structures along the route (and there aren’t many) appear to have been abandoned quite some time ago. It was only about 20 miles out from El Paso, that we began to see some residential unit density and roadside mailboxes. In the… Continue reading journey to Las Cruces NM
Our drive from Amarillo Texas to Roswell New Mexico

The campground is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is total silence at night. During the day, the absence of off-the-air TV signals, Dish satellite TV reception, wireless… Continue reading Almost off-roading with our RV
And Off We Go!!!
Winchester, VA And we are off. The goal was to get our RV fully loaded up, and away from home. Just this morning, we secured having someone check our home, weekly, while we are away. The original plan was to drive a bit further away, but while trying to confirm reservations for our first two… Continue reading And Off We Go!!!
