To Big Bend National Park, Texas

At White Sands NM we had decided against a sidetrip to Roswell. There aren't really any aliens there, are there? We think not, and there's not much to do but shop for alien memorabilia, so it's off to Texas, Big Bend National Park right at the Mexican border on the Rio Grande.
First, it's some more shopping for groceries (and 2 bicycles with a carrier for the motorhome) in Las Cruces, then the endless drive through a little more desert to El Paso. We had tossed around the idea of staying in El Paso for the night if we would like it on first sight, but on approaching the city limits it becomes quickly clear that we will go on the Van Horn. At least as far as you can see from the highway - and you can see quite a bit of El Paso - we weren't able to discover a single inviting spot. Sure, it is winter and somewhere in the desert, but still......
Van Horn is a small town again in the middle of nowhere, but is has gas stations, a bank, an RV park and.....
a bakery. It must be a sign from heaven, we will have to settle in Van Horn one day, maybe not just now.

This is it. We only need to move in and keep the business going, yeehaa !
