We left Fort Stockton at about 8:00 a.m. headed west. Again, we raced the sun and the sun won. However, we were able to put 475 miles behind us. We went through El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico and entered Arizona.
Within two miles of entering New Mexico we turned over 7,000 miles for this trip. Entering Arizona also concludes our map entries. We've been to every state we'll visit on this trip although we still have to go through Nevada and California to get home, we did those states at the beginning of the trip, so they're already on our travel map. We've done 24 states!
We actually got some elevation under us too. At one point in Texas we were at 4500 feet. Quite a change from minus elevation in New Orleans and elevations in the hundreds or less in Arkansas and Mississippi.
We stopped in the small town of Willcox about 50 miles into Arizona from New Mexico. We found a little RV park that only charges $23.00 a night. This is quite a place for $23.00. Full hookups, laundry, showers, indoor pool with hot tub and a restaurant with inexpensive but good Italian food. Although the whole grounds are gravel, it's clean and quite, except for the occasional train going by at night. Lifestyles RV Park turned out to be a little gem in the desert!
It's still a little over 500 miles to Las Vegas, so we'll get an early start tomorrow and go, hopefully, to Kingman Arizona. That'll get us close to Las Vegas.
