Nick,
I thought you espoused taking it slow and easy. Why on earth did you leave at 2:00 pm knowing you had 230 miles ahead of you? You are full timing so you could have just stayed in Del Rio or gone somewhere close by and then left the next day at an earlier hour. Then you wouldn’t have gone into a campground that made you feel uncomfortable. We try to be in our next campground by 2:00. That gives us about 3 hours of daylight in case we get tied up or don’t like the looks of the campground. It gives us options.

Nick, have you been to the Hubbell Trading Post north of I-40 in Ganado, AZ? That is one of our top 5 museums. Especially if you can tour the Hubbell Family Home behind the trading post. (Tours of the home are only given once or twice a day.) Someone made hundreds of ochre charcoal pencil portraits of every native American he could, and they are stunning. Much better than photographs for capturing the individuality of each person. It is wonderful.

Nick: “less ambience than a New Jersey land fill”? Maybe you could have hit the big time by geo caching Jimmy Hoffa’s resting place. Nancy and I are busy here at Rainbow’s End. . . sorta like Mecca for SKPs. We got the MH inspected (a true breeze) yesterday and will get it registered and our driving licenses on Monday. We’ll head towards West Texas on Tuesday, trying to avoid the rope of ‘old Roy Bean along the way. As always, Orv

The Luna Mimbres Museum in Deming, New Mexico is one of the best small town museums we’ve been too. There’s an Escapees RV Park in Deming, so stop by and take time to visit this totally volunteer museum with all kinds of unusual collections. We’ve been told that their geode collection is better than the Smithsonian’s. The collection of whiskey bottles that look like ceramic figurines is huge. How many of you remember the iron lung? There are two in this museum. And don’t miss the Customs House across the street.

We always stop at the San Pedro campground at Amistad Res. Nice dry camping spots right on the water. Beautiful sunsets and hardly ever anyone else in the campground. With our Senior Pass, it only costs $4 per night. The info says it is limited to 28 foot RVs, but there is plenty of room for larger ones. I believe it is the turn off the main road that would cause some problems:-) Sorry you didn’t see the Marfa Lights.
