Happy St. Patrick's Day-Las Cruces New Mexico

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to everyone.
Yesterday Dave and I took off and went and got haircuts, Fantastic Sam’s, well, they cut my hair a little shorter then the picture I gave them, so they aren’t that Fantastic, but no big deal it will grow out. You only live once why sweat over a short hair cut. After that we took a drive thru Saguaro National Park, which was just beautiful, the cactus were just amazing to see. After that it started raining a little, no big deal, and then we headed for Costco, needed lettuce, oranges, and grapes. We got back to the RV in the afternoon and it started pouring rain, and getting really cold, we even got hail. For dinner we went with, Cheryl, Dean, Charlie, Gayle, and this time Herb and Anne joined us, they were on the Mexico Caravan too and were staying somewhere else in Tucson. We all had a good time and a good visit, plus gossip about the caravan.
The night got pretty cool and when we took off this morning we were driving thru snow, it wasn’t on the roads but it was on the sides. At one point it started to sprinkle again then the next thing you know it was snowing on us. We had our CB radio on and you could hear the truck drivers saying, this is Arizona what the hell is doing snowing now, it was pretty funny. Once we got to Benson Arizona the sun was out and the sky was blue it was hard to believe it was snowing on us 10 minutes earlier.
Anyway, we are now in Las Cruces, New Mexico for the Holiday Rambler Rally “WOW” which stands for Way Out West. The rally really begins tomorrow but we wanted to get all set-up and check things out. They are having a golf tournament tomorrow besides check in there really isn’t anything to do until the 4pm margarita party and Mariachi Band. Dave and I decided to drive to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and check out the border area, it might be a bust but we still have peso’s we need to get rid of, if you don’t hear or see any postings from me in a couple days, send help, because we are probably either stuck/jailed/ or dead somewhere in Mexico and Valley needs to be rescued from the RV and be fed.

P.S. I did do some driving today, I haven’t said that in months, but driving Hwy 10 seems to be my calling.
