RV For Sale, Driver get 13 MPG loaded

We got up relatively early to get the camper ready for the big trip. The locals showed up just in time and we headed off to Tuscon to pick up some more folks there. The 5 hour trip down to El Paso was great as there was a lot of time to relax, talk, eat, drink and even use the bathroom! Even with 12-13 people overall it never got crowded in the least. We of course found lots of ways to entertain ourselves and even other travelers that were passing us on the road. Except for a quick stop at the Texas border for gas, we really didn't have to stop and were luck enough to have a decent tailwind. Along the way I really enjoy seeing the various landscapes, mountains, and such. After a very brief rain shower we were even fortunate to see a fairly vivid double rainbow in the sky!

We finally arrive at the hotel in El Paso, registered, and made various greetings. It wasn't long after arriving that we had to start getting ready for the Tex-Mex 007 pub crawl. Even though there was a 'Bond 007' theme, some people took it as a 'Bond-age' theme and dressed appropriately. We hit a couple of different spots along with seemed to be at least a 2-3 mile trail. We passed by several radio stations that had large glass windows overlooking the street and am sure the radio hosts enjoyed the various displays of attention offered by the hashers, though I am quite sure the Christian Contemporary station was nearly as amused as the others. After partying it up for quite a while we were waiting for a cab when a pick-up truck came by to give someone a ride. Not one to turn down an offer though we're not sure if it was extended to all of us, we piled in as many as could be packed for a ride back to the hotel. The rest of the evening was spent playing 3-man, hot tubing (and boy was it COLD when getting out), and other games of the drinking persuasion.

Most of the pics for the week are in two batches on Kodak Gallery and can be viewed using the following links:
