Sunshine Everyday

Tuesday night we overnighted at Boogie’s Brewery and Distillery (Harvest Hosts) in Deming, NM. Very interesting place with lots of character. They stopped brewing during Covid, and are only distilling various rums and tequila. They have different food trucks every night; for us, it was Taco Tuesday and we enjoyed the tacos. Stop by and see Entrepreneurial Sprint at its best. These people are working hard make a business. Fun People!

Wednesday and Thursday nights we stayed at Lifestyle RV Resort and Fitness in Wilcox, AZ. Nice setup with an indoor heated pool and Hot tub. They also have a sauna, great workout room and lots a other amenities. We would highly recommend them. All for $40/night. Small park but not small on amenities.

On Thursday, we went to Willcox Playa Wildlife Area in search of Sand Hill Cranes. There is a 2.4 mile loop out to a lake where they like to nest. It was a nice, peaceful hike, but unfortunately we did not see any cranes. Maybe next time. The hike was worth the great views of the desert and the mountains on either side.

On the way back, we stopped at Birds and Barrels for a Wine Tasting. We sampled 6 wines and all were good. We learned that Willcox is the biggest wine producing region in Arizona. There are 6 wine tastings within walking distance, and many, many vineyards.

There are 7 Winery Harvest Hosts in the area. We could have winery hopped every night – idea for the future. Willcox is very nice with a cute downtown. We will return here now that we know all it has to offer.

1,000 Miles and Still Going

Since leaving Texas, we have had 100% Sunshine in New Mexico and Arizona. We have put in over 1,000 miles in a few days.

Here are some fun pictures along the way.

Heading West – Looking for Sunshine

Well, we are living the lifestyle we set out to live. The weather in South Padre Island has been cold and rainy for the past 5 days, and will remain that way for the next 2 weeks. Same in Port Aransas (our next stop).

So, we cancelled Port Aransas, packed up and headed west. The weather looks great in Arizona with higher than normal temps the next 14 days.

We put in 560 miles today (9 hours) and made it to Iraan, TX. We are overnighting at a rest stop along I-10 (also a first).

Living the dream (not the rest stop part).

Leaving South Padre @ 9:00am
I-10 Rest stop @ 7:30pm. Note: lots of campers and truckers here.

Nuevo Progreso, Mexico

We took a day trip to Nuevo Progreso, Mexico with Bob and Ranae. It was fun and easy. It felt safe and was easy.

It cost $2/day to park in the USA. $1/person to exit into Mexico and 25 cents to come back in.

We walked over the International Bridge over the Rio Grand River to a nice town. We did some shopping and had lunch at the Red Snapper. All very nice.

Pam got a Mani-Pedi for $20 (Ranae did just the Pedi for $12).
