Winding our Windy Way to Wilcox

Sunday morning, we did not get up at the crack of dawn. It was cold overnight, 47F outside, 51F inside the camper. We did not leave El Paso until around 10 AM, after a leisurely start that included replacing the trailer connector in the truck bed. We hope that is the end for the turn signal trouble. Marianne called Gracie on her birthday.

We called Chiricahua National Monument about campsites, and they indicated that they had been full every night, and that we should arrive between 10 AM and 1 PM. With a late start, we could not do that, so we wrote off Chiricahua, and looked for alternatives, which did not look that attractive.

We stopped for lunch in a restaurant in Lordsburg NM. Before lunch, we had a tailwind, and a fairly quiet and pleasant drive. After lunch, we had a headwind/crosswind, so no fun. We made it to Wilcox, AZ, halfway between El Paso and Phoenix. We are staying at the Grande Vista RV park, where we have stayed before.


The photo is of a large blue agave outside our door in the campground. The shoot coming out the top has not flowered yet, although it is already about 12 feet high.

Tomorrow we head for Sun City West (Phoenix), and the forecast is for moderate winds.
