New Mexico, Deming Dec 3 - 13

Deming, New Mexico  When we left Goose Island, TX on the 2nd of Dec, Kay and I drove to Ft Stockton,TX and spent the night.  The next day we made it into Deming.  That was a 850 mile trip.  It was very hard on Kay.  She is not used to that much driving at one time.  We spent the night at the campground in Deming, and the next morning we took off in the truck for Denver.  The only way we could get the Colorado plates on the truck was to drive it back to Denver.  We drove straight through to Denver.  The only bad part of the trip was around Pueblo, CO.  There was a lot of blowing snow, and at times it was hard to even see the road. When we left Goose Island, TX it was 75 degrees by the time we got to Denver it was down to -8 degrees.  It was still very good to see all the kids and Grand kids.  We spent six days in the freezing weather in Denver with the Dow's and Derr's.  Both of us woke up and so we decided to leave Denver about 1:30 in the morning and miss all the traffic.  The roads were all clear the whole way back to Deming, NM.  That was nice.
