We stayed over an extra day due to high winds (up to 60 mph) in Deming, NM, The four of us decided to do a day trip with the car to visit Silver City, NM which is located about 50 miles northwest of Deming. Luckily we had been smart enough to take winter jackets as Silver City was 2,000 ft higher in elevation than Deming so is much colder. We walked the historic part of Silver City

On the way back to Deming we drove through the surrounding area to view the open pit Santa Rita Copper Mine.

The winds diminished and we were anxious to leave as the forecast low for Sunday night in Deming was 19F. Brrrrr. We headed out to Tucson and stopped for lunch near Dragoon at the scenic viewpoint. It was an ideal photo opportunity of the beautiful rock formations in the area.
Monday, November 12th:
We booked into Lazy Days RV Resort in Tucson for 3 days. Our friends Mike and Mavis from Enderby BC were waiting here for us yesterday. We've spent the day shopping and doing a few small repairs. The trees in the resort here are loaded with oranges, grapefruit and limes. The management encourages the campers to pick the fruit. So far we've had a grapefruit and a lime. Tasty!
Our current plans are to leave Wednesday morning to travel as a small caravan of 3 rigs for our trip to Lo de Marcos, Nayarit, MX.
