Our Drive to El Paso, Texas

A grey morning is broken
by this tree with attitude.

Eric & I decided that this

is a moored blimp.

We are sooo wrong!

This is Tethered Aerostat Radar
used by the US Border Control
to track illegal alien entry &
 to combat illegal drug smuggling.

Cows graze...

We drive through Valentine

& Van Horn.

The US Border Control is

always on duty.

Just 86 miles to El Paso.

Ice covers the trees
& bushes.

We are entering

Mountain Time.

We leave the highway at

Fort Hancock.

This is the end of the US

Customs & Border Protection

Fence with Mexico.

Cows graze in a field.

There are groves of

what kind of tree?

We don't know.

They are Pecan Trees.

We arrive at Cummins for

generator maintenance

appointment.

 We will dry camp here and wait for our appointment.  Cummins has RV spaces available with 30 and 50 amp hookups.  We have a full tank of water and will do some exploring while we wait for our appointment.
