While camping at the KOA, we met a couple who drove in and quickly made friends. He is a retired Army guy and he has a Vietnamese wife, whom he married while he was on active duty in Vietnam. They were very nice. They have 4 daughters and now have a house in Culpepper, Virginia. We had dinner with them at the little cafe at the KOA. Talk about a sleeper. They had the most wonderful ribs you could imagine. Just a little dinky joint. We left Ft. Stockton yesterday morning and drove till about 2 p.m. I got the pleasure of driving through El Paso. There was no road construction, so that was a big plus. We are truly enjoying this new coach. Because the engine is in the rear, you don't have the noise up front and we can talk back and forth without shouting. Even the generator, although up front, is very quiet. We stopped at the Camping World outside of El Paso, but didn't find anything we couldn't live without. Finally after 2 days of driving we were close to leaving Texas.
We drove on into Las Cruces, New Mexico, and made camp just off the interstate. We are going to be here for a couple days. We went out to eat last night at a Mexican restaurant. It was very nice. We also went down to the little Spanish town of Mesilla. It was very dark, but we are planning on going back today. It is the tiny little town where Billy the Kid was tried for some murders and sentenced to hang.
While we were outside the camper, another couple drove up and parked next to us. Turns out he was at the KOA the night before and recognized our coach. They are headed to Quartzsite as well. They left this morning and we are staying here another day.
Till next time. . .
