El Paso and Benson

12/28/2019 – 1/30/2020 - After saying our goodbyes to Terri and Mike we continued our journey west. It was at least a 6 hour drive to El Paso so we planned to go as far as Van Horn, four hours, then El Paso the next day. Shortly after leaving Comstock we encountered a stiff head wind and along with gaining elevation our gas mileage for the day was around 8 mpg. We had been averaging over 10 most of the trip so this was significantly lower. We arrived in Wild West RV Park in Van Horn TX in mid afternoon. We picked a site but when Dennis went to hook up the sewer he found the sewer pipe full of water. Had to move to another site then all was good.

We both woke up before sunrise, unusual for us, so decided to head out and make the 2 hour drive to El Paso to Sunland Park Racetrack andCasino. We hoped to get one of the RV spots right next to the racetrack as they had live racing on Sunday. We pulled in around 9:00 and what luck! The spot closest to the track was open! We quickly set up then went into the Casino for breakfast. We were able to watch the Packer game while the races were going on. How awesome!

The next day we hooked up and drove 267 to the Saguaro SKP RV Park in Benson AZ. After setting up we had plenty of time to make 4:00 social hour. We were welcomed by everyone and had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and meeting new.
