Cold overnight

Location, Las Cruces, NM

We are out of Texas and into better weather. We woke up to 38 degree temperatures and fog in Alpine this morning. Everything was drippy wet. All of our windows inside were dripping water from the humidity and cold weather.

We left about 9 AM in the fog with windshield wipers and lights on. About the time we got past Marfa (home of the Marfa lights, woo-woo) we got out of the fog. The temperature however remained at 41 degrees. The fog completely lifted after we drove west of Sierra Blanca on I-10.

We drove through El Paso with moderate traffic but I managed to stay in the middle lane all the way. I only touched my brakes once for slower traffic.

We arrived in Las Cruces about 2:15 local time and parked at the Elks club on Elks Drive. They only have 4 spots next to the building but it is adequate for our needs.

We did a drive around Las Cruces which ended at an Albertson’s for a few groceries.
