250 miles across the last of west Texas, a stop at Camping World east of El Paso, across New Mexico, and into Arizona... it was a long driving day. Did you know that El Paso is an old Spanish term for "really crazy drivers"? I call it Tijuana Taxi meets NASCAR - crazy ass lane changing, cutting across 4 lanes to make an exit, 20 mph over the speed limit through a construction zone (oh, and that was a school bus), and it goes on for about 25 miles.
New Mexico has new license plates... they still say "Land of Enchantment" (an old Indian term for "blowing dirt.") We've made this trip a lot, I'm always amazed at how Mother Nature can schedule a headwind no matter what direction we're going.
Way less RV traffic on the roads compared to a year ago... a sign of higher fuel prices and the ever-dragging economy. Same scene in the RV parks: plenty of spaces anywhere we've been.
Nice days and cold nights so far - it was 28ยบ when we got up this morning in west Texas! Plenty comfortable in the HitchHiker.
