Good evening all!
Today, Scott and I awoke early (for vacation that is) at 6:30, hooked up and set off for Las Cruces. As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve been without hot water since Day 2. We dropped the camper at the service center in Las Cruces, then drove around.
We stopped at La Mesilla, the early capital of Arizona and New Mexico. Billy the Kid spent some time there. The old Plaza is a nice little shopping area, lots of art galleries. After about 40 minutes there (many stores aren’t open yet because tourist season hasn’t begun, we drove up to Las Cruces, about 3 miles away. We drove around a little looking for an outdoor mall Scott remembered from his years here, but it’s gone. About that time, we got a call that the camper would be ready in an hour, so we stopped for lunch at a nice Mexican restaurant “My Brother’s Place”.
When lunch was done, we went and picked up the trailer then began the hard drive back to Alamogordo. This part of New Mexico was experiencing severe wind storms, and driving was difficult to say the least. The skies are brown with the dust kicked up.
We spent the rest of the afternoon just kind of lazing about, then went to dinner with M&P.
Now we’re watching the news reports about the storms back home! Yuck, you guys! I sure hope you all came through with little problem!
Back to seeing the sites tomorrow, so there’ll probably be pics tomorrow night!
On The Road II 
Hey you guys, I finally got caught up with your adventures again!! The photos were awesome and I am so glad you took them – cause I can’t imagine EVER climbing up into those cliffs! Oh, and Eric, I can relate to clinging to the door and praying – I was doing that on the drive into Crater Lake and that was nothing compared to the road I imagine you were on!
So glad you are having a great time! “Mudder and Pops” sounds like the name of a B & B. : )
Love ya,
Jo

Eric,
Glad for the Day 10 Post. We did have terrible storms all over — hail and high winds. I-29 Northbound was closed since two Semi-Trucks overturned on the highway. One woman lost her home due to the wind — but her three dogs survived. She was grateful for that. Lots of other damage, but not to us here in Dundee or other places our friends live, as far as I know.
What time do you arrive back home?
Miss you both and glad you have hot water!!!!

Hey Jo!
Cute, isn’t it? EVERYONE calls them that. Their kids, their kids in law, parents of in-laws, neighbors, friends, friends of kids, friends of in-laws, cousins…. the list goes on. The GRANDKids, however, call them Grandmudda & Pops! 😀 And they’re two of the sweetest, nicest people you could ever meet!
Tony, glad you all came through these storms ok. Scott and I are planning on being back on Sunday. But at this time the only thing I could do is hazard a guess that it’ll be sometime after 5 p.m. We miss you, too!
Eric
