Checking in from Las Cruces

Hi All.  Wednesday, Karla and I stayed at South Llamos River State Park in Junction, Texas.  We arrived mid-afternoon and spent the rest of the daylight hours walking around the scenic park and enjoying the nice weather.  While exiting RVMakes3 we encountered a 9 Banded Armadillo outside our stoop.  The 9 banded armadillo is a solitary, mainly nocturnal animal, found in many kinds of habitats, from mature and secondary rainforests to grassland and dry scrub. It is an insectivore, feeding chiefly on antstermites, and other small invertebrates. The armadillo can jump 3–4 ft. straight in the air if sufficiently frightened, making it a particular danger on roads.  It is the state small mammal of Texas.  It lingered for about 10 minutes and then moved along.  

Yesterday we traveled to Fort Stockton, Texas where we are boon-docked at The Old 76 (Harvest Host) for the night.  The Old 76 is a beer garden that caters to locals throughout Fort Stockton.  Today we arrived in Las Cruces, NM.  It was an incredibly windy and difficult drive.  Tonight we are boon-docking at the New Mexico State University Golf Course (Harvest Host).  We settled in about 4pm local time and spent some time walking and exploring the area.  Karla was feeling discomfort in her chest so we retreated to RVMakes3 for the evening.

Tomorrow we continue our journey west with the plan of settling in Tucson, AZ by late afternoon.  I hope this blog post finds you well.  Karla and I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon.  And as always, (we are) coming to a driveway near you.  Stay tuned.
