New Years Eve and new friends

We moved from the Casino Del Sol into the Lazy Daze KOA where our friends Rowdy and Missy are staying.  I have been talking to Rowdy for a few years on RV Dreams Chat and we know all about each other.  We have gone through much the same process to get started with our full time RV living.  We both had to go through the process of selling our houses and we both have wives who are not eligible for pensions, so we had to figure out how to make the financial part work.  We talked lots about the RV's we were going to need and have done a lot of research on boondocking and solar systems.  So we have a lot in common.  But we have never met in person, so today was the day.  We are going to spend New Years Eve with them at the club house party and then stay a few days to get to know them.

I Won.... I Won!!!!

We got off to an early start this morning because we had close to 300 miles to go today.

As we pulled out of Las Cruces Walmart on to I-10 both Sue and I rubbed our eyes in disbelief.  A Rexhall Roseair was right in front of us as we merged into traffic.

Miles and Miles of Texas

Today was another travel day and a dreary one at that.  We didn't hit the road until almost 1:00 pm because we loved the spot by the lake where we spent the night.  We met a couple who had come out from Austin to photograph a loon which was swimming in the lake.  Apparently one of their fellow birders had called them to tell them that it was here.  Apparently seeing them around here is a rare sight.  They were impressed when I told them that we have them everywhere in Manitoba.

We are on day 2 of our journey from Magnolia Beach Texas to Tucson Arizona.  We hope to be there on New Years Eve day. As of this morning we still had about 750 miles to travel.

Shave and a haircut....two bits!!!

Today we headed out even though it was quite foggy.  We guess correctly that the fog would only be near the ocean and we were heading inland so should run out of it.  A few mile up the road it lifted and we had clear sailing all day.
