Well, Feb 20 we woke up to rain but started to get the trailer ready to leave and it started to hail. Thanks goodness it did not last long. Kevin and Gary finished up outside on the trailer and we ended up departing at 9:40am instead of the 8am we were hoping for.It was sad to leave our good friends that we made there. They have made our stay so enjoyable and they will not be forgotten. We had 2 hrs of steady to very heavy rain but we were out of it before Tucson. We decided to detour to Tombstone to see it and it was awesome but sadly we could not stop. Holiday weekend and it was so busy and nowhere to park. With our truck and fifth wheel we were kind of limited. Pretty Cool though...Part of it looks like a old western town from the old movies. We went by Bisbee which had a copper and gold mine in the center of town....It looks like a big hole in the ground...Wow!!! We were close to the mexican border in Douglas via 80 and crossed into New Mexico and stayed overnight at Lordsburg . Next day we continued on I10 and crossed into Texas at El Peso which is right on the Mexican border....if fact I got pictures of Mexico from the center of town....amazing. There was tons of stockade of cattle along I10 amazing the number of cattle. So decided to take a picture and opened the window and near died from the smell. Gag City!!!! I could not imagine working there if that was the odor I was getting. We had to go thru border control outside of El Peso....Checking to see if we had any illegal mexicans with us. We continued on to Fort Stockton Texas where we overnighted. Today we drove by San Antonio and when as far as Weimar Texas. We were amazed at how many dead skunks and deer that we saw on the side of the road. Vegetation become more colorful as compared with the desert gray we were used to. All in all it has been an amazing trip.
