 We pulled into San Antonio, TX, yesterday late afternoon. Click on the image above to open in Google Maps We got off to a 6am start to the day yesterday, March 16. We pulled into San Antonio around 5pm and were able to get the last spot in the Mission City RV Park , within San Antonio, but on the eastern side of it.  An early start for us   We ran out of gas in the middle of the Sonoran desert We made it to 2.4 miles of a gas station. Then, she died. No problem. Adam strapped our empty 5 gallon gas can to the back of his bike and was back in no time. Yay! This was all beautiful but a little monotonous.  The speed limit here is 80mph. We can only do 60-70. 70 when we are going down hill :-) So our times with Google Maps are a little skewed. We always arrive later than the time they give because we cannot go that fast. More time to enjoy the scenery! Here we are this morning, in San Antonio. We got the last spot they had and it was for a 40; rig. It was more expensive but we were tired.

 We reluctantly left Riverbend Hot Springs and headed for El Paso, TX. Adam has an Air Force buddy living there that we wanted to have lunch with.  Click above to see our route in Google Maps We met up with Adam's friend Juan and his girlfriend in El Paso and had a great lunch in a little Mexican place. They just had a baby 6 months ago so there was a lot to talk about. Juan does a lot of  great work in mental health for veterans. We got back on the road, Interstate 10, which we will be on all the way to Florida.  On to Van Horn, TX. We made a reservation at the Wild West RV Park.  Nice place. Very clean and tidy. We rode our bikes to RJ's Steak House and had a couple of delicious steaks! Not much else in Van Horn. Back to the RV and started a movie and quickly fell asleep.  This was an odd "Border" check. We never crossed into Mexico. More later! See our real-time location with our InReach from Garmin. Out location is updated automatically every 4 hours https://share

 We made it to our destination at Truth or Consequences, NM.  We made a reservation at Riverbend Hot Springs for their RV park. Our route since leaving the Grand Canyon: Click above to open in Google Maps We started our day in Holbrook, AZ. We had a great breakfast: After breakfast, we headed over the Petrified Forest National Park . It's sort of a "drive thru" park. You drive the 26 miles through the park. There are lots of scenic overlooks to take pictures and trails to hike if you want. Or, you can just stay in your car and watch the scenery go by. REALLY cool scenery! From the Petrified Park, we continued south and east. It started snowing again, but the temperature was just barely above freezing so it wasn't sticking to the roads at all.  Then I received a "wind warning" on my phone. Winds gusting up to 50mph! Our poor RV is very vulnerable to wind. Gusty wind is really scary. Adam just put on our hazard lights and slowed down a lot. Beautiful scenery i
