Our Drive From Tucson, AZ to Las Cruces, NM

We left the Lazydays Campground a little before 9 am.  We had their continental breakfast for the last time this morning, which was free.  We enjoyed our time there the last four nights.  We are leaving the 108-110 degree weather to see what lies ahead...  Today, we are headed to Las Cruces, New Mexico.  Here are some pictures I took along our drive....

Even though it is pretty hot here, there seems to always be a breeze and it is not humid so it has been okay.  We will stay on IH 10 until we get to San Antonio.

No rivers here so I guess this is just a basin they use for irrigating.

They do not have a swimming pool (surprised since it is a resort) but they have a good size spa/hot tub.  I checked it out and it was just warmed by the sun!  No need to heat it here!!!
