Staying in Deming, NM

1/21/10

This morning the weather reports were still calling for terrible weather, blizzard conditions, high wind warnings, flood watch, winter storm warning. The decision was made to stay in Deming one more night and re-evaluate conditions each day.

Now, how to spend the day in Deming? We started off with a trip to the local laundry to do clothes. While there we talked with some fellow RV’ers. They gave us some info on Quartzsite and boondocking areas in Yuma. They also told us about an RV Park they stayed in that was full hookup’s for $15 per night.

I talked with a local lady and she confirmed the weather was to be bad. They are expecting 3 inches of snow in Deming the next night. She also said that when traveling to Tucson if the wind as blowing then it would really blow. Sounded like it was either blowing like mad or there was no wind at all. Nothing in between.

We decided to find a RV park for the night. The one we found was Sun Rise RV Park and it was $15 per night. OK, so 2 showers each + dumping + water hook up+ electric + internet…not too bad. Well, the wifi didn’t work. The showers/rest room area was filthy beyond words. Let me put it like this, if I had looked at the showers before paying for the site (even knowing that we had shower shoes) I would have not stayed there. How to people come here for a season and stay? OK, it is cheap for monthly, seasonal and yearly rates but goodness!

The best I can say is that we had a good night sleep and stayed really warm.

Until we meet again………..
