Another beautiful day ranging from 60F at 6AM to 94F by late afternoon. this is bone dry weather and you have to be careful to drink a lot of water as you are drying out and never know it.
Lots of warning signs on the highways out here about zero visibility and dust storms. We were fortunate and the ones that hit us were very small even though you could feel the wind power. I'm sure these are quite minor for what can happen.
We travelled along I-10 as that was the easy route to get over to the Sonaran Desert Museum just west of Tucson, Arizona. We also needed to resupply so of course there was the obligatory Walmart stop. Don't all campers stop at Walmarts? There are a few different products that we don't see in Maine.
El Paso is an enormous city and went on for miles and miles and miles. The entry points off and on I-10 were handled by service roads, easy once you got used to them, a bit frightening at first to have traffic coming in constantly. We hadn't had Texas BBQ on this trip yet so chose "The State Line" after several local recommendations. Awesome! Beef short ribs (impossible to get in Maine), brisket, sausage, chopped BBQ plus all the usual sides. We've since eaten off of it for two more days as there were so many left overs. Everything in Texas is big.
Since we wanted to get up early on Sunday to be at the museum when it opened, we chose to stay in a dreaded (I hate them) KOA. Caught up on laundry, water, dump, long showers, etc. There were a lot of beautiful blooming cactus all around us.
