Day one is Complete

Greetings from Van Horn, Texas. We had a relatively uneventful day driving down, a little wind, seven hours, a lot of traffic through El Paso (ugh!) but we got here safe and sound in plenty of time.  Van Horn is not much more than a wide spot in the road with motels and gas stations and four RV parks.  We are at one called Mountain View.

We have free cable, free Wi-Fi, full hookups and a very nice couple at the front desk running the place under new management. We're off to take the dog out for a walk, cook up a little chicken for dinner, and check the weather for the winds tomorrow. We're heading to Big Bend National Park, and we likely will not have much in the way of either cell or Wi-Fi service for the next 48 hours or so, we'll catch you on the other side.
