One Night Stands...

Since leaving Huachuca, we've just been tootling along Highway 10 east with a string of "one night stands". We finally said our "good byes" to Arizona, and started our trek east (towards our ultimate goal of Florida by March 1st). Our first night was a stop-over in Las Cruses New Mexico. Nice little RV Campground with really friendly folks running the place. While chatting with them about our travels, they gave us some ideas on some places to see and to stay at along our way (love that!).

Last evening we made it to Ft Stockton Texas. We had been playing tag with another RV along the highway, and when we pulled into the campground, so did they! We introduced ourselves, and later joined them at dinner in the on site cafe for a nice rib dinner. Joe and Birtha shared that they too had been full-time RV'ers once, but now did it for a few months at a time, splitting their time between Ohio and California. We were both heading to San Antonio and ultimately to Florida. We shared with them that the folks from the last place had suggested taking a side trip, via Highway 90, getting off of the 10 for awhile, and seeing Langtry where Judge Roy Bean had presided, then on down through Del Rio. It sounded interesting to all of us, but also a bit of a concern with it being so close to the Mexican border. We all decided to sleep on it. Either way, we might run into them again in San Antonio! Nice couple.

These towns were really nothing more than a "one night stand" for now, sometimes that's what gets you through until the "main attraction" comes along!
