Today we drove from Big Spring to Van Horn, Texas a distance of 230 miles. This is west Texas, lots of oil pumps, drilling equipment and related businesses along I-20; Van Horn is about 120 miles from the New Mexico border but only 27 miles from the Old Mexico border.
We left Big Spring at 8:15AM and we were parked at the Eagle’s Nest RV Park in Van Horn by 12:45PM which is the earliest we have ever parked for the day. We left early to avoid the wind, we did have some but we were driving into it today so it wasn’t that bad and we were parked by the time it really kicked in this afternoon.
Our site at Eagle’s Nest.
The Eagles Nest is nice but located between Interstate 10 and some busy train tracks so we will see how the noise factor is tonight. Once we were set up it was KoKo time so we got her to the dog run and chased the ball for awhile. The plan for tonight is watch the playoff games and get some sleep.
KoKo and the ball.
KoKo goes for the ball.

Glad you were able to beat some of the wind, anyway. We're going through good old Van Horn in early April. We've stopped there before and it is pretty much an overnight stop. It works!
Happy travels you "fulltimers"...sounds good doesn't it?
Bet it was nice to get off the road early, especially with those winds. The playoff games were real nailbiters, especially the Vikings/Saints game! Hey, did you know a lady from Chilton is missing? big hullaballoo going on with searches and suspicious boyfriend. Her name is Michelle Jaeger.
