| A long line of trucks. |
On the way out of town we give the motor home a wash at the Blue Beacon Truck Wash. We arrive at the truck wash at 10.20am. There is a long line of trucks; this could take a while. In fact we were out by 11.25; we had the wheels blacked as well!
We have a $20 voucher from Blue Beacon (which is a nation wide company). After our previous, and first wash back in Tennessee, Trevor complained by letter to head office. They didn't do a very good job and he wasn't happy. We received a letter of apology and the voucher.
It made this wash only $26.00!! And we look pretty swish driving out of El Paso.
Just before crossing into New Mexico we refuel and check tyres.
Quite a process. We have to go through the truck stop for air, then back to the gas station for fuel as we take gas (petrol) not diesel.
The scenery is spectacular; first mountainous then onto plains which go forever - or so it seems.The traffic is easy but the trucks just keep coming!
Our first stop is Las Cruces about 40 miles from the state line. We go to a Wells Fargo bank to validate new Visa cards. |
| Welcome Centre - New Mexico |
We had both received text messages purporting to be from Wells Fargo, wanting account information over the phone. I checked with the San Francisco branch where we opened our accounts; they advised us to cancel our current accounts and open new ones! We maintain a high level of suspicion of unfamiliar emails or text messages!

| Little Vineyard RV Park, Deming |
We stop at the Little Vineyard RV Park in Deming, New Mexico and stay on another day.
Trevor has a sore throat and cough which is annoying him.
A lazy day; crockpot dinner. Great showers and restrooms!
We book in to the Rose Valley RV Ranch just out of town. It is a great place, full of farming relics - tractors, ploughs, old farm machinery.We stay 4 nights.
