This was another long driving day. The drive across the Sonora Desert of southern Arizona and New Mexico on I-10 was both scenic, with majestic mountain ranges, and bleak due to lack of vegetation. The weather was clear with some strong cross winds for the first couple of hours, which turned into a tail wind as we went along. The traffic through El Paso was very hectic so it was with relief we pulled into the Mission RV Park ($40 per night with no discounts) on the eastern edge of El Paso. It’s a fairly large park, in an industrial area, with a fair amount of traffic noise from I-10. But it will do for a couple of nights. The sites is gravel, fairly level, good water pressure, 50 amp, and good (but slow) WiFi. We will be back to visit Tucson sometime in the future since there are so many things we did not get to do, like Pima Air Museum, the Desert Museum, Tombstone, the scenic drive in Chiricahua NM to name a few. But we were very happy to drive across the border into Texas after 11 months on the road and 8 months since we were last in Texas (April). Its good to be back in our home state!
