Our day started with a gorgeous sunrise and I knew it was going to be a good day. We were on the road a few minutes after ten. Being the middle of the week, I-10 wasn't busy so we had time for lots of scenery gazing.
The scenery got real interesting when the first Nascar semi passed us in the opposite direction. The race this weekend is at Fontana in Los Angeles and all of the race cars and equipment are headed that direction. We grabbed our cameras and snapped shots as the carriers shot past us. (The pictures aren't great since they were doing 75 miles per hour and we were doing 70.)
We managed to get photos of about 20 of them, including my favorite, Kasey Kahne. It sure made for an entertaining trip! Before we knew it, we had crossed the Continental Divide and were in Lordsburg, New Mexico.
Of course, we stopped at the visitor center and collected an armload of brochures about southwest N.M. There is so much to see and Doug has a couple of places marked to look for fire agates and other stones.
We ended up in Deming a little before 2pm at the Little Vineyard RV Park. It's pretty much just a large, gravel parking lot but it will do while we are running around sightseeing. (And gathering more rocks......lol) There is plenty to see so we will probably be here a week.
