Noah came out and showed me around the yard. He does love to climb but I guess most 13 year olds do.
Soon Noah assured us there would be pancakes with chocolate chips.
Carlos plugged in the griddle and the production began. It was well worth taking the southern route and an extra 200 miles to have another visit and more pancakes with this family. Afterall, we had to pick up another sack of popcorn for the trip home. Ah, to have a popcorn machine!
As we passed Las Cruces, New Mexico we saw this large road runner defending the town. We did not see him soon enough to exit into the rest area where he resides.
In Ft. Hancock, Texas we stopped for gas and spotted a not too fancy little cinder block building named Margie’s. A restaurant open on Easter Sunday with a chicken fried steak specialty! We decided to take a chance. Fancy it wasn’t, but delicious and homey indeed.
There we got the inside scoop on the Mexican drug wars just across the border and decided to go two miles further to have a close up look at THE fence. The sheriff’s deputies advised us to go further east before we stopped for the night in a roadside park. No problem!
One night in Van Horn and another in Greenville, Texas and we completed the 5,025 mile holiday. We really enjoyed Arizona this time of the year but until the next trip you can find us at the dead end! Jiggety jog!

You guys are too much - Vegas to Hot Springs in three days. That's a three month trip! Anyway, it was great seeing you and look forward to next time.
It was Uncle Sam's fault. Taxes are paid. We will catch y'all down the road.
