Tuesday Evening

We have arrived in Casa Grande, AZ where we will spend one month..  We arrived about 5 PM after traveling from Deming, NM.

A rest stop in NM

We had a stopover in Benson, AZ to visit with Ron and Sue, who were our neighbors last year at Desert Gardens.  We had lunch with them at Adollo's Taco Shop.

Lela and I had the Carne Asada Burrito.  Lela will NOT be recommending the Burrito. 

We set up and met a few of our neighbors, took our walk, had dinner and are now in couch and TV mode. 

When we get everything set up we'll post more pictures of Val Vista RV Park.

Last Saturday we went to La Fiesta de La Feria (street Fair).

 We walked the street, had some kind of Mexican fare for lunch

We took in the car show. 

Lela owned a '66 Mustang, Candy Apple Red

 

There was also a stage with various entertainers throughout the day. We had a good time on our last day in La Feria. Then we returned to The Silver Star to make last minute preparations to be road ready in the morning.

Sunday Morning we were ready to pull  out at 7:20.  John, a park manager, came to make sure we were able to move out.  Sunday was  uneventful (which is always a good thing).  We drove to Junction, TX and spent the night at the North Llano River RV Park.

It was a nice enough place to spend an overnight.  We walked about .5 miles to a Dairy Queen and had a blizzard.  Then TV and bedtime.

Monday morning arrived and we had a quick breakfast and were on our way at about 7:30.  Our original destination was going to be Anthony, NM just north of El Paso, TX.  When we arrived there it was early afternoon so we decided we could drive on farther down the road, which turned out to be Deming, NM.  It was actually a long day of driving, but it left us with a short day to Casa Grande and an opportunity to visit with our friends.   We stayed at 81 Palms Senior RV park.

 

Lela thinks we were on the railroad right of way as there was a train every 20 minutes.  It was not a good choice of parks.  We will skip Deming, NM from now on.
