Las Cruces

My cousin Frank and his wife Helen took us around to see the sights of Las Cruces. They have lived here for about 40 years so they know the area very well. Frank worked at White Sands Proving Grounds which was a site for atomic bomb test.


We went to several real good Mexican restaurants. The food was great and not too expensive. One of the restaurants was one where "Billy the Kid" had eaten during his trips to this area.

We left Las Cruces and headed back to the children and grandchildren in Alabama. We arrived at the FAMCAMP in Montgomery and had to "dry camp" one night and then spend two nights in "overflow" before we finally got a site. We'll be here for quite a while since Jerry and I are going to have some minor surgery.

The children had a sign on the Holiday Inn marquee which said "Welcome Home Bob and Jerry Wiggs". I guess they must have missed us. I don't really see how they could miss us, after all this trip only covered 7,843 miles and we were only gone about ten months.
