Fort Stockton, TX to Deming, NM

We have driven many of the different roads less traveled into Phoenix and each one had been too challenging so we opted to take the Interstate this time. We have also made a change in our plans once again. That is what is nice about this lifestyle, when things just are not working or the roads get bumpy, then change course. At this time we will not be going to the coast, instead we will stay a few extra days in Phoenix and get into Las Vegas earlier. Once we complete our work at the racetrack then we will head to California for our leisurely drive along the coast, from San Diego up to the Redwoods and then will probably head for Minnesota. We want to be able to take our time driving along the coast, stopping and doing plenty of sightseeing without being so crunched for time as we would prior to the race track.

I have been feeling very melancholy this morning and most of the drive, probably because we are heading into Phoenix and once again we will not be able to see our daughter and grandson. It saddens me and brings me into a place in my thoughts that I replay repeatedly looking for some sort of answers to why this continues to be a dilemma in our lives. I could not control the tears so I just let them flow and of course, I feel a bit better.

We stopped early enough in Deming, New Mexico so we could connect our dish and watch the NASCAR race from California, which we did. We stayed at an Escapee’s park, Dream Catcher. What a great park, clean and open and the showers were the best we have ever experienced.
