Feb 16th
A little scenery today.From Alpine, TX to Las Cruces, NM. Also back into Mountain Time Zone.
On route passed Marpha, where Flyoing Saucer lights are often reported , then passed Valentine. Now Valentine has a special meaning to Denice.It was in this town of 250 souls that her aunt Doris married her Uncle Johnny in 1955, on Valentines Day, and Johnny's last name was Loveday. Neat eh!! Loveday marrying on Valentines Day in Valentine, Texas! Then we continued on through Van Horn and El Paso to Las Cruces. Checked in by 2:30PM, but with time change was only 1:30PM. I cooked up a brunch of bacon, eggs, spud paddies and fried tomatoes. I think for dinner we may go down to the old town of Mesilla, We know of a nice Mexican Restaraunt there.

Woke up this morning to a very heavy fog, but it burned off soon. Changed our destination for the day slightly. We had planned a rather longer day today with Sanderson as our stop, but last night I had a rather bad night with a severe pain in my left side, we opted for a shorter day stopping in Del Rio instead. Called ahead and reserved at the Good Sam Holiday Travel RV Park. Not a whole lot to report about today. What can I say. This is West Teaxas!! Arrived in Del Rio early and just spent the rest of the day taking it easy. Pain in my side had subsided. Don't know what that was all about!
About Del Rio;
Welcome to Del Rio, Texas, "The Best of the Border," right across the international border from Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, two romantic and historic cities, just a heartbeat away from the sparkling waters of Lake Amistad. Once you discover "The Best of the Border," you forget the rest of the border, because Del Rio has more to do and more to see than any other city on the Rio Grande. Best of all, Del Rio's delights are only a few hours from many major Texas cities.
Let Del Rio warm your heart and soul. Crystal blue skies, clean air and an average year-round temperature of 80 degrees surround you as you discover Del Rio's attractions. Del Rio offers excellent golfing, fine dining, beautiful motels, bed & breakfasts and unique historical areas, including The Whitehead Memorial Museum, and the Val Verde Winery.
Make a big splash at Lake Amistad. Its vast international waters and dramatic shoreline provide a paradise for fishermen, boaters, divers, windsurfers and skiers. In addition many outstanding camping opportunities await you at Lake Amistad Recreation area campsites.
Get out on the town after sundown. Cross over the border to Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, where mariachis, margaritas and the magic of shopping in exotic Mexican tiendas are as close as a stroll through the moonlight. Experience a fiesta with no siesta.
Buenos dias y buenas noches. Good day and good night.
Discover them both in Del Rio, Texas!

High Wind today, but warm at 75F. Replace Vent cover over bathroom fan. I had bought an unbreakable one in Rockport, but never got around to it to install it so today I thought was the day. Well. Murphy's Law, of course I had the wrong one, so went hunting and at Cates Hill RV found on, but not nearly the quality of the one from Rockport. Anyway went home and installed it

On the Road Again!! Left McAllen by 9:00AM and headed north and west on Highway 83. Just a leisure traveling day.

| Valentines day Tomorrow so lots of this type of stuff for sale along the way |
 |
| The last time we were by this way, this interchange was just starting Construction. What a difference!! |
We had planned on going to Carrizo Springs, but we called ahead to the only RV Park in town and it was full, so we had to default back to an old stand by at Webb. It is pretty basic and rather expensive at $35 for what they have to offer, but I guess beggars can't be choosy. Just 3 miles prior to the RV Park is a Texas Info/Rest Stop, so we stopped there as we usually do when passing. We really didn't need any info, but it is just such a nice one. I think, the nicest one that any we have been at in Texas.
