Las Cruces NM 1/3 - 1/5/2010

Enjoying the game and some refreshment
After a three day boogie across the giganic state of Texas we settled for two days at the KOA campground in Las Cruces NM. The campground was on a hill above the city and the people in the office were very nice. We visited a small historic square in the neighboring town of Mesilla, NM. There is a small Basicilla there and some nice shops. The second night we were going for mexican food but I came down with the stomach flu that was going around the family at Christmas. Eileen ended up eating alone while I visited the facilities. This is a college town and other than the dust it is a nice place for a stop.

We then moved on to Tucson Az where we stayed at a campground that we stayed in in 2008. I spent the first day washing a filthy bus and relaxing. In the afternoon we went to Mesa RV a nearby Tiffin dealer and the Camping World store across the street. I got a new light for my entry handle and proceeded that night to blow a bunch of fuses that required us to visit Mesa the next day to get it fixed. Once again I proved my vast electrical skills with DC wiring on the bus. All is well and we are on the Way to visit Corey in Casa Grande on 1/7/2010.

We had a great visit and a nice meal at Mimi's and then we returned to the bus to watch Alabama deal with the Longhorns. Corey is a busy dude with all he is involved in around school. He looked great and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The next day we are in the bus heading for Desert Hot Springs, CA and Joshua Tree NP.
