El Paso

Sunday - Monday,  Nov 13-14

Sunday's drive into El Paso was long and boring, more of the Texas landscape.  We also gained an hour as we are now on Mountain Time.  We were headed towards Ft Bliss to stay.  This Famcap doesn't take reservations, it is on a first come first serve basis.  I called when we were about an hour out and was told there were three sites available.  Fingers crossed, we headed in.  We had picked a couple of alternate parks just in case.  We got there in plenty of time and were assigned a site for the next couple of nights.  We don't have a lot of plans here except to do some heavy duty cleaning and the laundry.  I like this Famcamp.

Bill tried to put the satellite dish up and we ran into some problems.  It just wouldn't lock onto the signal.  A few others around came over to help but we decided it was something in the setup in the rig.  After a lot of grief and wire changing it finally decided to work.  Yeah!  We did make a run to the commissary during all of this. 

On Monday we cleaned the windows and the floor of the motorhome before I went to do the laundry.  The price of the laundry is reasonable here.  It is $1 to was and $.75 to dry.  Now I don't have to do it until we get to Mom's house. 

We did go check out the new PX here.  It is a really nice place.  It is more of a mall than a PX.  We picked up a couple of things and then headed out to take a short drive.  We did find that they have diesel at the PX gas stations, which is unusual.  We plan on hitting it before we leave on Tuesday. 

That was all.  Have a good day.
