A nice quiet nights sleep at the casino and up early enjoying coffees and some computing time, waiting for the sunrise then eventually hit the road. A few more miles and vehicle service to get done along the way. As the sun came up shortly after 6 am I took a nice walkabout this area and another through the casino caught a nice parking lot sunrise.

| a nice sunrise again |

Then at 7:30 am we headed to the Pilot in Tucson to fuel up then down the road to Benson to the Super Lube Plus to get an oil change and grease job on both, the coach and the car. Plus we get a free crash (car wash) as well, BONUS! Have been stopping here every year for the last 13 years usually twice for their fast friendly service. We got there at 9 am and were done by 10, down the road in Benson topped up our propane, we good to go again.

Then heading east on I-10. we stopped at the Texas Canyon rest area we love, the scenery and amazing rock formations. Time to whip up an early lunch at 11 am just because we can.

Not long we entered into New Mexico and another time zone. lost an hour.
Only here in the southwest do we see these never ending trains, they go for miles.
 |
a nice eastbound drive on I-10
not too busy |
Mind you we did have a windy day, mostly head winds up to 37 mph , kinda slowed us down a bit, but not really a problem , probably ate up some fuel economy but we have lots of fuel so not an issue.
We arrived at the Deming New Mexico Walmart at 2:30 pm (3:30 local time) for a nice spot to stop for the night. Checked out the store, came home a relaxed a bit,
 |
| not to many rigs here right now |
After getting set up and a shopping list I headed back into Walmart to stock up (this pays our rent) And bought a pre cooked rotisserie chicken for supper, just because we could and only $4:98) good for 2 meals and maybe even some soup as well.
 |
| added to our salad was wonderful |
Chatted with a neighbour for a bit, whipped up dishes and I managed to catch nice sunset in the process. Thanks for the heads up Suzie, I was doing dishes.
 |
now that was a very nice ending
to another good travel day |
Now to kick back and enjoy a nice quiet Walmart evening and watch a movie or something on the tube, before we head on out in the morning.
Thanks for the visit and hope y'all had a great day as well.
