Deming Do-Over

Yay, moving day again! After about a week in one place, we are more than ready to move on. We were debating whether to head north to Silver City or east into Texas. We have some friends in Donna, TX that we were hoping to see before they begin their journey winding their way home to Kansas.

And then it happened.........Doug found a rock store. They gave him directions to Cooke's Peak where the best carnelian and petroglyphs can be found. Hmmmmm. Little change in plans. We still packed up and moved. (We weren't all that thrilled with the Little Vineyard RV Park.)


About a mile east of Deming is the Dream Catcher RV Park. It's an Escapees park, which you might not recognize unless you are an rver. It is a membership club that has quite a few of it's own parks and provides discounts in many, many more independent parks. The weekly rate is so good that we are here for another week. As you can see, the park is wide open and there is tons of space.



The campground hosts are incredibly friendly and nice. We put our awning out as soon as we were settled and before we could blink, two people in the park came over to advise us that this is the windy season in New Mexico and it wasn't a good idea to use the awning. As the day wore on, the wind never abated. Fortunately, the weather has turned very warm and even the wind feels good. For the first time since we left Washington, we have turned the air conditioning on for a few hours. Maybe spring has sprung!

After spending the afternoon on a couple of errands, we settled in for the evening until a glimpse of red drew us outside.


A few clouds had rolled in, setting the scene for a spectacular sunset. It has been a while since we have had one this beautiful. We are so spoiled.
