11/03: El Paso bound

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Up early once again and after saying good-bye to John, Carol and Caity we were on the road.
Ed has decided to try something new. Instead of spending a full day driving and getting exhausted and grumpy, he's decided to try driving less than 500 km a day so he can quit by mid afternoon. West Texas doesn't have a lot of towns and thus not a lot of RV parks so he's actually getting to drive less than 400 km a day except for today. Today's drive was 515 km so we could get through El Paso. Worth the push except El Paso was busier than Ed remembered. On top of that the cloverleaf exit that we took the last time we visited the rv park was changed causing us to miss the turn for the RV park. Luckily, we were able to make a u-turn a few miles up the road and backtrack to Mission RV park. When we chatted with the fellow that checked us in, he explained the new directions for coming in and leaving. Learned a valuable lesson today ---- recheck directions to RV parks -- don't assume you know them.
