Well we made it through our first day of towing Eastward without any issues. It took us much longer to close up the trailer and hitch up, so we did not leave Casa Grande until 9:45 AM. We had a beautiful day to travel. 65F throughout the day. Southern AZ and New Mexico are totally different. AZ nearing Tucson is full of the beautiful saguaro cactus. Whereas NM is more scrub desert in the lower altitudes and beautiful grasslands at higher elevations. Avoided a few tumble weeds as well. We actually hit rain today at about 3000 feet. We arrived Las Cruces (4000 ft elevation) about 4:15 PM this afternoon. 340 miles. Not bad with averaging 60 mph most of the way. The campsite overlooks Las Cruces and the beautiful mountains.
At the camp site we had difficulty releasing the ball from the hitch. Luckily an experienced driver gave us some assistance. Dinner tonight in a mexican restaurant, bad food and great margaritas which neutralized the bad food... Heading to bed early tonight as we have a long drive tomorrow.
Ciao
