Our Location: Deming, NM
(yesterday's post)
We left Las Cienegas under mostly blue skies with the sun beaming down on us around 8:30 AM. We turned left on to AZ 83 then hung another left onto AZ 82. We passed through the little town of Sonoita and on to the small wide spot called Whetstone. Another left on US 90 had us heading north to I-10 at Benson. We remained on 1-10 East for the rest of our day’s journey.

We had plans to stop at the Gage Rest Area just west of Deming for the night but the farther we travelled the less nice the weather. We had dark skies which turned to rain, which turned to wet flurries and finally on the road sides we could see snow. We did pull into the rest area and checked out the camping for future use. Other than the interstate there is also a train track on the opposite side of the interstate. However I think some ear plugs would remedy that issue. Due to the cold, snowy day we opted to move further along and ended up in Deming.

We filled up with fuel at $2.79 per gallon and managed to find a spot to park for the night. A bit noisy but we made do. The Walmart in Deming is very crowded and we opted to by pass that parking area.

The temperatures over the day dropped to 35F / 1.6 C as we were motoring along and I was happy to get tucked up behind a building and out of the wind for the night. The wind was unsteady during the coming from the East or South as it swirled through the mountains on our drive. We had no wind to speak of through the night and the morning dawned with blue skies and temperatures dipped low enough to put a heavy frost on the window of the Dogsled.
Today is another travel day, we are moving a couple hundred more miles on down the road. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you had a wonderful day.

The Walmart in Deming is usually crowded but has always been quiet, we like the convience.
ReplyDeleteThere was a dozen big rigs in there and it was so crowded there was not where to park. We opted for a different location and managed. I think another time a set of ear plugs would do the trick.

Glad you found a place to stay that you're happy with for sure! Looks like a wintry day you had. Gotta say scenery is beautiful!
