Like I said before, we are in El Paso, parked in the famcamp near the Ft Bliss Army base. The famcamp is not on the base, just outside, but, it has full hookups and they will give you a $2 discount if you're holding a golden age/golden access pass. It's not a 50% discount, like up at the North Dakota Air Force bases, but, it's better than nothing. Ron got his medications refilled and we met fellow Boomers Steve & Kay Krasovetz, who were already here. We had happy hour with them yesterday and also went out to a Chinese dinner with them. Too bad they were leaving so soon, but, they had already been here awhile and were on their way to Florida for the winter. It was so nice to meet fellow Boomers that we know of after seeing them post to the BBB now & then. We hope we have them talked into joining us for Quartzsite in 2010.

Tomorrow morning, we are headed out to Las Cruces, NM, to meet some more Boomers, who have since gotten off the road and built themselves a nice house. We're looking forward to seeing them again and seeing their house. I'm sure we'll have more pictures of our get together soon.

That building on the left is a house, the upper story is just a shell





After getting back to the main highway, it was only about 16 miles to the border to go back into Texas. We did make a brief stop at the Guadalupe Mountains National Park visitor center, just to see what there was in there. As we were going in the door, I took a picture of some walking sticks making babies. Apparently these two had been photographed a lot that day.

Driving up there was a gradual climb up to the top, here we are going down the windy road back to the highway..
