Last Day on the road

We're in Lordsburg, NM for the night.  NO, don't go dragging out your atlas.  We're only 2 hours from Tucson. We'll have a lot of setting up to do so figured we'd get a fresh start in the morning.  Plus we redeemed some Best Western points and made this a free night.  Used a $50. coupon earlier in the trip that we had earned last fall on the way home.
It's close to 80 degrees here now but we're tucked nicely into our beautiful oversized air conditioned motel room with a king size bed.
We had a nice drive the past two days.  Decided when we left Kearney, NE that we'd follow the GPS in the truck.  SURPRISE!!!!  We ended up in Denver but not where we could see any downtown.  It took us on a bypass that ended up by the airport.  Worked great.  Made it to Raton, NM for the night.  Via my little pink computer traveling down I-25 at 75 + mph I found a new Best Western and made the reservations.  What a nice treat to stay in a new motel.  The room had an outside entrance where we parked and an inside entrance to the rest of the motel.  Had it's own restaurant, bar and lounge.  Dinner was cob salads and $3.00 Margaritas and breakfast was any type of breakfast food for free, fixed to order.
We're glad our trip is almost over.  Now we can wait for all our dear friends to roll in.

  1. It looks like you are making great time on your way. I assume the Ford F-150 is running very well and is comfortable. Enjoy yourselves in Tucson and we'll see you guys in about a month.

  2. Hey, are you guys still on the road? Haven't seen where you are back at the 5ver. Hope all is well and you are keeping out of the dust.

    How have the winds been since you got there? I saw this morning there are dust storm warning up for I-10 & I-8. Do the warning extend down to where you are?
