We weren’t really in any rush this morning when we got up at 7:30 but we didn’t want to reach our destination too late in the day either. Once breakfast was finished we took the time to check the Weather, News and Emails before packing away the Computers. While Kathy got changed I washed the Dishes. When she came down to dry them I headed upstairs to close up our CPAP Machines.

When I headed outside to start setting the Truck up for towing Kathy was already bringing the Slides in after having made certain that everything was secured and in its proper place. I finished draining and flushing our Waste Tanks before hooking up. That’s all it took for our neighbours to come out and say their “See ya down the Roads”. With Dell being in town getting their Car serviced Pepper came over with Neo to wish us the best. Old John came over to point out that he could see something hanging under our Truck. I explained they are Cables that act as Static Straps. Static Straps eliminate Car Sickness, Falling Asleep behind the wheel, Excessive Tiredness after a long drive and getting Zapped when you touch the metal components on your vehicle. I used to think it was all Bunk until it was experienced first hand making me a believer.

After being delayed by nearly an hour we still managed to be pulling out for the 11:00 checkout time. Not remembering what was up the road we decided to grab an early lunch before we actually got on the Highway. We drove back to the Walmart parking lot which was already filled with Semis and RVs. Parking along a curb we went next door to Wendy’s. We each ordered a Dave’s Single with Cheese Combo but instead of Fries we had Side Salads, and Small Frosty as the meal. Then we had a Senior’s Soft Drinks which in most Wendy’s is Free. We still managed to be westbound on I-10 before noon.

The sky seemed to filled with Clouds for most of the day but we were noticing an increase in the Temperature. By the end of the day Deming would only reach 61 F (16 C) while Tucson would make it to 70 F (21 C). It felt wonderful. Before leaving New Mexico we passed an area that recent Rainfall had flooded next to the Highway. Looking further away Snow could be seen along the peaks of the Mountain Range.

After crossing into Arizona even though we still had a Half a Tank we stopped to top off our Diesel and to give us a chance to stretch our legs as well as taking care of other needs.

Before we knew it we were taking Exit 265 around 4:00 and pulling into the Tucson Camping World a few minutes later. Since we were only stopping to pick up a few items it was hard to find anywhere to park otherwise we could have spent the night in their Secured Yard. Luckily we weren’t in there very long and got what we needed.

We were soon back on I-10 for Two Miles before traveling the remaining Twenty-Five Miles with Rush Hour Traffic leaving Tucson on Ajo Road. Our destination was Snyder Hill BLM Land. We stayed there for a night in March 2017 on our way to the Escapade at the Tucson Fairgrounds.

It was still daylight as we found ourselves a nice Back-In Site that was very easy to get leveled. After driving only 229.8 Miles today we are already feeling a little warmer then we have been since we left home. For supper we had Chicken Vegetable Soup, along with Fruit Cake and a Yogurt Cup for dessert.

Kathy has already found tomorrow night’s BLM Land and we should be on the road much earlier. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
