Arrive at our winter home

Arrived at Tombstone Territories RV Park yesterday around 3:30 pm, good trip from Elephant Butte, NM, little wind and that was great since the area we drove through is an area that has many warnings of high winds, dust storms and gusty winds as you drive through small mountain ranges and large open deserts with sparse vegetation. We did not go through Las Cruces this year as we could not get in touch with our friends Mark and Annette, so decided to take a shortcut (Hwy 26) which is known as the Hatch Hwy and is the scenic route. Very happy we decided to take the road less travelled, good paved 2 lane road, scenic and joins I10 at Deming, NM and cuts about 50 miles off the trip to our park in AZ. After driving the scenic route, the interstate runs through the desert for miles it is exciting to be driving through small mountain ranges, the rock formations all through New Mexico and Arizona never cease to intrigue us!




To me this looks like a castle sitting on top of the hill.

From this angle the castle is not so apparent. It is unfortunate that the picture did not capture the different colours of the rock, they are striking to the eye!
