MAY 5, 2013 - VAN HORN TO TUCSON, ARIZONA

May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, 56 degrees and windy this morning! Linda was cold and now bundled up in Mark's hoodie! We had to get fuel and Pilot was our only option. As usual at Pilot stations, it was a half hour deal ! They hire the dumbest people.

The Eagle mountains look like huge gravel piles!

El Paso, Texas is very large and very colorless. Everything is brown, with the occasional green tree.

At 11:00 we crossed into New Mexico and stopped at a nice rest area, walked the dogs and took a few pictures.

11:57 we went through a border patrol station ... In our own country !!!

Mark spotted some dust devils and tumbleweeds!

50 miles east of Tucson is an area called Dragoons. Very interesting rock formation ... big boulders. See two photos below.

Arrived 4:00 local time, setup and Randy poured drinks. It was Julie's night to cook and we had salad and pizzas. Everyone was worn out so we had an early night of TV. No A/C needed ... it cooled down to 61, was breezy and rained.
