Deming, New Mexico

After a pleasant drive over the Guadalupe Mountains and Interstate 10, we decided to spend the night near Deming, NM and go on to Silver City in the morning. The directions into the Hidden Valley Ranch RV Resort made us wonder if we had made a poor decision. We traveled about 3 miles on a dirt/gravel road. After the second mile and not seeing anything, Joan said there was a FED-EX coming up behind her in a cloud of dust. Denny Hamlin (for you NASCAR fans) must have been driving! We knew there must be something up ahead, especially after the Fed-Ex passed us coming again from the other direction. He had already made his delivery.

Jack Rabbit running away

This campground is an ATV paradise. Out in the middle of nowhere was this neat campground. The flora was beautiful. Between the jack rabbits, cotton-tailed rabbits, quails and the guy pictured below, animal life abounded. Wi-Fi was very limited. Joan and Amye found that the best reception was in the laundry room. Killed two birds with one stone. The yucca plants were in full bloom. I have never seen them so big.

Tarantula

Tomorrow we most likely will not have Internet access, so I will catch up from Benson, AZ.
