Not much to say today. We moved West about 200 miles to Deming, New Mexico. Heading in here the highway was lined with signs saying “Discover Deming” or “Visit Deming” so we looked on the internet to see what there was to do in Deming. On the internet we found three things: Visit a Rock Museum, Visit the town museum to see some rocks on loan from the Rock Museum or go see City of Rocks State Park. (The state park is 40 miles away and that is where Marsha and Larry started their vacation 3 years ago.) So for normal folks about all there is to do in Deming is watch the tumble-weeds blow by.

Had two mechanical problems today. When Marsha was checking the car tow dolly she noticed that the tow dolly lights weren’t working so Larry found an RV place to take the rig to have it checked. Seemed that somewhere the tow dolly bottomed-out and tore the wiring for the lights loose. Got that fixed in about a half hour.

About half way across the White Sands Missile Range the air conditioner stopped blowing. Larry fiddled with it for a while and discovered that the fan only works in “High.” He said he will get that fixed later and just hope “high” doesn’t go out in the meantime.

Marsha’s getting dinner ready and I need to go help her. That’s all for today.
