We kind of feel like we are 'heading for the barn'
but driving more that 350 miles a day is just about max for us.
Midland Texas
Not just a decoration for the RV Park!
The 'tiny houses' are in great demand for the workers.
West Texas is West Texas!
A long drive and a reservation at this campsite -
lucky to get one since the whole area caters to the long term rentals f
or the oil field workers.
We got the oil drills, oil pumps, tiny houses, RV's all in one camp site!
On to Las Cruses New Mexico
Old Town - Mesilla
Exploring the Old Town Square
Lots of colorful characters and events "back in the day"
Decorations in our favorite restaurant - the old La Posta -
this place has been operating here for the last 150 years.
It started out with dirt floors and no running water.
Casa Grande, Arizona
-next to last stop.
I asked what would be interesting for an afternoon here, and was told that there was an airport where people jumped out of airplanes!
Sounded like our kind of adventure ( only to observe!)
Perhaps they are praying for their safety
(as they jump out of a perfectly good airplane!)
Such fun to observe!
It really feels like this trip has had an "Aviation Emphasis"
and that this was a terrific way to end this particular adventure!
I think we are in Arizona. These visitors are from New Mexico
The girls are wearing caps - Mennonites perhaps?

The lessons for this skydiving experience are quite expensive!
The girls obviously had done this quite a bit.
Grandpa that was with them probably had invested a fortune!
I have a great video, but can't get it uploaded
😉
These ladies were in for a short time, and it looked like
it may have been a beginning session.
The cost is $50.00 for 2 minutes.
Another brave soul - his lesson was short and this was the best that he could do.
As we were leaving, a vibrant sunset.
I tried for the 'green flash' but no luck!
