We asked the Uber driver who we used to get to the hotel – “what are some things we should do while we are in EL Paso?” He just looked at us with a quizzical expression. Then, after much thought, say that there is a “Border Patrol Museum.” He did, however, have a good suggestion. His was to visit Cloudcroft. Cloudcroft, NM is a great place but it’s a two hour drive from here.
Got up, met Sharon and Bruce then headed out to see El Paso before driving to Las Cruces.
We drove the “Scenic Drive” that starts in a very nice upscale neighborhood. There are places on the drive to pull over a look across the city.
Not much wildlife but did see a Roadrunner
Before we left EL Paso we took a short detour to see the Great Big Beautiful Wall.
We made it to Las Cruces and had lunch at a great restaurant with an interesting name, “Si Señor”. The restaurant was suggested by our interface for the march. Then found our VRBO. What a great place.
