Land of Enchantment

Bob and I have come to a realization that we have seen rain every day in the last 10 out of 11 days. A few snow flakes, too, truth be told. In Vega, TX we saw a brief flurry and we did at our next stop as well, neither accumulating at all. On Tuesday we passed from Texas into one of our favorite states, New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment.

We easily found the town of Vaughn, NM, our planned stop for the night, but were a little confused as to where the RV park was. There are two campgrounds in town but both looked like they had been closed for years with no other RVs present. We chose the one with a slightly better layout and settled in for the night, leaving the campground fee in an envelope in a drop box by the office door. It was a pleasant surprise to find a pretty strong free Wi-Fi signal in the campground, and it was a pretty quiet night.

On Wednesday we saw a bit of sun for part of the trip and enjoyed the NM scenery as we rolled along.

The pretty little town of Carrizozo

We passed White Sands National Monument as the clouds moved back in.

Having spent a winter here a couple of years back, we felt like we were coming home.
We are now tucked up into our campground in Las Cruces and are excited to be visiting with our friend Joan today. Joan has bought a home in Florida and is in the process of readying her Las Cruces home for sale.
