Now at "The City of Rocks" New Mexico

---

We left Balmorhea at 8:30AM, CDT, I-10/20 split 9:00AM and continued on I-10. At 9:50 we changed to MDT; uhoh, now it’s 8:50 MDT. Paralleled the Mexican border/Rio Grande river for many miles and through El Paso at 10:30 MDT. Juarez Mexico close up, could see the border fence. Crossed the Rio Grande at 12:10, not so ‘Grande’ at this point. At 12:30 PM, MDT we were stopped by Border Patrol on I-10 in N.M. but not searched, waved on. Arrived at the “City of Rocks State Park” at 3:10PM, CDT, temp 103 degrees. (Hot Rocks) “A Dry Heat” lol Like a blow dryer in your face! After the sun went behind the rocks it cooled down and was Very Nice!

I need some rocks!
Could you just smuggle me some rocks for my garden? They have plenty, wouldn't miss them! Those are some amazing sunsets, I must say...

Looking Good!
Made it to New Mexico I see. Looks great! I have been following your blog as you move west in between my rally hosting duties. Tonight is pizza night. I had to call the pizza place (domino's) and order 16 large pizzas, boy am I tired. Have fun on your journey and we really enjoy the pictures and updates. Oh, and those rocks there in New Mexcio, we call them pebbles and sand here in Texas. HI HI

That White Hawk looks good.
Hey we went on the Jayco tour today. Got some good pictures of the plant which are on Snapfish. Sent you a link. Now is that what you are doing called "Dry Camping"

No Dry Camping on this Trip
Sounds good John and I'll check out the link. Slowly moving west then after next stop (Tombstone) we will start going north. Dry camping is with no hookups and that wouldn't work for this trip. No A/C at 103 degrees would be tough.. lol It is hot but the mornings and evenings are just wonderful as you can see on the pics. Talk again soon, keep having fun. Will and Marge
