Day 9

Last night we camped in a really nice KOA facility north of Carlsbad, NM. We enjoyed a soak in the hot tub then returned to camp for our light supper of soup and salad. Again, sat up aground the camp fire and talked. It’s colder here so bed a little earlier. We spent the day driving the 600 miles to my daughter Stephanie’s. Took a little over 10 hours with stops only for gas and fast food. No adventures. Good news: we left the desert scenery behind and drove into the West Texas hill country. It’s progressively green as you drive east and there are lots of wild flowers carpeting some of the meadows and along the highway middle separation. Pink, yellow, purple… just beautiful and a welcome sight after the long days of brown and grey. We arrived at Stephanie’s a little before 10 pm. Jillian (my three year old grand daughter) was still up and we had a brief visit with her and Stephanie and Ian before we went to bed. 
OOPS... I guess I published this one twice.  It was barely worth writing in the first place.
