Deming, NM

We leave El Paso and head west into New Mexico.  We cross the Rio Grand which is wide, sandy and completely dry.  We travel through the desert on the southernmost road in the state.  We stop at the historical museum in Columbus.  This is the border town that was attacked and burned downy by Poncho Villa in 1916.  It is the only city in America that has been invaded by a foreign country.

We go north and take an RV site in Deming.  We've been spending every night for the last two weeks at campgrounds because it's been consistently below freezing at night.  So much for my idea of escaping the cold in Virginia by going south.
