17 October – Tombstone to Deming

On the road for a long drive today. We headed down to Douglas on the Mexican border before turning north again. We wanted to see the border crossing, but about 1k out they started funnelling traffic into lanes and we didn’t want to get stuck and not be able to turn around, so we had to turn off. We could see a big gate in the distance, but not really any detail. Leaving Douglas and right up until we re-joined the interstate highway about 40 miles away, we saw heaps of Border Patrol vehicles. We don’t know if that is normal, or if they were on a mission.

Other than that, nothing exciting. We did go through a big copper mining town (Bisbee) with a really huge hole in the ground.


Parked up tonight at Deming on the highway. Trains, trucks, lots of noise tonight!
