Drove from Davis-Monthan AFB to Benson (only 30 miles south) and visited Bruce and Celia. It was really nice to see them again. Celia fed us lunch which was excellent and I got a chance to shoot the breeze with Bruce. I always learn a lot from him when we talk. \
Sunny but cool weather. It was only in the 60s today and a little breezy.
All good things have to come to an end so we left Bruce and Celia in mid-afternoon and lit out for Lordsburg, NM to spend one night in route to El Paso. The new trailer tows very nicely with the Mor/Ryde suspension and pin box. We arrived in Lordsburg without incident and overnighted at the KOA. It was cold and windy - the temperatures dipped to the upper 20s at night. In the morning we continued into a our usual headwind toward El Paso. Very bad mileage with lots of uphill highway and headwinds. I've determined that I can actually change the direction of the wind by changing our driving direction. When we turn the wind also turns until it's blowing opposite to our travels. It never follows us to help with mileage. Well....life is good when this is the only complaint!
Arrived at Ft. Bliss RV park in El Paso around noon and met up Pat & Patty. Mark was there with his 5th wheeler as well (another new friend from Agave Gulch RV park). We all visited the PX, had lunch, and looked around the base before returning to the RV park to plan our trip to San Antonio where we all agreed to spend the rest of December and the first week of January. I'm out voted...they want to hit the road early in the morning - I'm going to bed early again. DRW
