Leaving Livingston

We left Livingston, Texas last Tuesday and after getting the motorhome inspected, we were able to still drive about 250 miles to stay at the Walmart in Seguin, Texas. That was night 1.  We left Seguin and drove 350 miles on Wednesday and arrived at the Walmart in Fort Stockton.  That was night 2.  We still had 245 miles to go on Thursday to get to El Paso, Texas and then another 80 once we crossed into New Mexico.  We now sit in Deming, New Mexico resting for a day before we start again to our final destination of Yuma, Arizona. I hate the drive across west Texas, but there are not many choices this time of year since going a northern route might lead you into some severe storms.  Here is a picture of what you see…

for approximately 700 miles!!!  Boring!!!! I finished one book and got halfway through another!!!
We are staying at Dream Catchers RV park.  It’s an Escapee park like we stayed at in Livingston.  We pulled in yesterday afternoon and the first thing Ed did was wash the road crime off the car and motorhome.  We were clean when we left Livingston, but we ran into some drizzling rain in Houston and that really made a mess out of things.  A hard rain would have been better.  Today, Ed has left to play a round of golf and I need to get busy doing a couple loads of laundry.  Tomorrow we leave and will make one overnight stop before we arrive in Yuma.  Looking forward to seeing friends that are also staying in the area and in another week we will move out to some BLM land (free camping) to boondock (camp without hookups) with about 15 other couples.  There will be a lot of eating and catching up.  Fun times ahead!!
