Having spent four days with our kids, we headed to Las Cruces, NM where we planned to spend seven weeks. The drive through western Texas and into New Mexico was stalled by a surprise ice storm that had un marooned in Mildand, TX for two nights waiting for the snow and ice to clear. The drive into New Mexico itself was uneventful and we reached the Hacienda RV Park in record time.
Our RV park was located a block off the freeway, was quiet, super clean, and very well maintained. The staff were pleasant and accommodating and for seven weeks we enjoyed our stay. Taking advantage of the downtime in one place, it was a great opportunity to catch up on some health issues. What ended up being a checkup for a few complaints turned into five weeks of testing and procedures to rule out a suspected heart issue and a few other maladies. In the end, all came out well with a few things to watch over the next few months.
The town of Mesilla, the historic old west captiol of the Arizona territory was at our doorstep and we took many walks and bike rides into this little piece of Mexico in the USA. The architecture and art were great and history oozed from every corner.
Las Cruces and all of New Mexico were under heavy stay at home orders so we only ventured out for outside activities, shopped with caution, and pretty much stayed out of the way. We enjoyed three days trips while there.
We visit Silver City and Gila Mountain National Park.
We drove over the Organ Mountains and to White Sands National Park. There were a lot of folks who enjoyed the dunes.
Our last day trip was to the nearby Organ Mountains and Desert Spring area for some hiking.
