Las Cruces, Nm

It was cold last night! It got down to 22 degrees! We had a light dusting of snow which for us SoCal natives is really cool!

Snow starting to fall.
The campground in St. David has it's own artesian well and we were even invited to dump our fresh water tank and refill it here. The water is so soft we did not use our water softener. It tastes like RO water. Although it is usually a good idea to unhook the water hose during cold weather like this so it does not burst, a Canadian neighbor of ours said to just leave a stream of water running all night in a faucet. Because they have their own well we didn't feel bad about doing this. It has been working.

However because we were leaving in the morning and the hose would have been frozen and impossible to coil up, we put it away and ran off our water pump last night.

We woke up with the scooter looking like this.

As I said it was just a light dusting of snow. We headed out at about 8:30 on our way for a couple nights stay in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

This picture is of Interstate 10. The road was dry but the scenery was beautiful!

It was so unusual to see cactus with snow on them!

At about 9:30 it was still 30 degrees according to the truck thermometer.

We got to our campsite at about 2:00. It is at a motel that also has about 30 full service RV sites. It is called Coachlight Motel and RV park. It is a Passport America park so it is also very reasonable.

Wednesday morning Las Cruces has a farmers market so we are going to go to that. After the farmers market we will go to the Old Mesilla area. We were told by my friend Larry in Quartszite we should check it out.

That's it for now,

Love you,
Brian and Patty
