Houston to Las Cruces


As we get closer to ElPaso, seeing lots of border patrol and truckers lined up at border patrol checking everyone going east as they are coming from El Paso and right next to the Rio Grande, the Mexican/US border. The receptionist said 3200 were killed illegally entering the country. Will have to check if we heard that right,


Boondocked in St. Stockton with 6 other RVs at a small Walmart.This older couple give us lots of advice on places to visit, and resources like AAA. They esp. liked Arkansas for the fishing and Ozark MT Music. They also liked LaFayette, LA for its diversity and friendliness. The couple got reunited at a 50th class reunion after losing their spouses and now the RV is their home. She has pots of arugula and herbs for cooking by the steps outside and in the shower. She uses couscous as it cooks by just pouring hot water over it. I knew that from Bruce cooking it but didn't connect with RVing. We should promote couscous at the store as "Camper Friendly".

Chris had found a number of bikes on Craigslist and has us looking at them in the 4th largest city in the US. We did find a good one and bought it from a 21 year old who was selling it cuz some friends had gotten badly hurt on bikes. Gulp.
