Day 8 Guadalupe Mtns NP, El Paso and Lordsburg

Today we made 306 miles in 3 segments:
First, we drove 36 miles from our overnight in White City at the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns National Park and visited my 168th park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park. 

The lore of this park is the rugged mountain range, and the "majesty that was the Wild West."

I posted a full version of the visit on the National Parks Blog:

Then, we made our way a hundred miles or so over to East El Paso, Texas, so TC could stop in about a problem he was having with a control panel on his new coach-  We had lunch at Denny's, then they took the coach in, and determined he will need to have a part probably shipped to him, so we decided to continue on and wound up at Lordsburg, New Mexico for the night, just shy of the Arizona border. 

Here we are waiting for his coach to be taken in.... 

We are in at the Lordsburg KOA for the night, gravel pull through, full hook up- 
forgot to snap a photo before it got dark.... 

Tomorrow, TC and Jeanna are going to up anchor and head on over to Anthem, Az and I'm going to run up the road about 70 miles to the Gila Cliff Dwellings NM, which is out of the way, but this is the one time I will be near it, so I got permission to go for it. 

Weather abated today, think the high was in the middle 60's. Supposed to be near 30 tonight though.  Warmer tomorrow we hope, as we will head on over to Tucson and arrive in the middle of the afternoon we hope and begin our visit with Jerry and Judy. 

Had a terrific caravan with TC and the lovely Jeanna, we truly enjoy them- and look forward to our visits with them-  they will be at their grandchildren's for a couple of week visit.
