We pulled out of the RV Resort in Tucson around 8:30 this morning. Three of our remaining four coaches left at th
e same time. The fourth was getting ready to pull out as we left. There were only a few remaining RVs scattered throughout the park but they too had to be out by 11:00 am. We headed east on Interstate Highway 10 toward Las Cruces, New Mexico. There we turned north on U.S. Highway 70. After about 340 miles we stopped for the night at the Boot Hill RV Park in Alamogordo, New Mexico. This is a relative new RV park and has almost all the amenities we would want. The only thing missing is cable TV. We tried to get some local stations over the antennae but did not have much luck. We'll spend the night here and then head out again tomorrow morning.

This is where the government designs, perfects and tests the many types of missiles used by the United States Military. Part of the drive took us up to about 5700 feet above sea level and then we dropped down to the desert floor in the White Sands area. Now we are in Alamogordo where one of the first nuclear bombs, one of the two that were dropped on Japan during World War II, was developed and built. After getting settled in at the RV Park we took a drive up through town. The main part of 
town is basically just like most of these towns along the highway. Many hotels and about every brand of fast food chain in the country. We elected to stop at a good old Oklahoma companies establishment, Sonic. We have not had a good Sonic burger since we left home, although Sonic is abundant in this part of the country. We did get to see another nice sunset. This picture was taken from directly in front of our coach this evening.

Great photo - you can 'see' the sunset just because that building looks on fire. Sad to hear there are no more Denny's in OKC. Sonic is a great institution as well...limeades and foot long hot dogs come to mind. Del Rancho is another favourite for their chicken fried steaks. I had in-laws who lived in LasCruces and Lana, the sister-in-law, fed me my first chilli rellenos, which was delicious. John was a math professor at the Uni but had previously worked at White Sands. They were nice people.
