Moving Camping Trip - Day 7

We left Mesa, Arizona's sunshine and into New Mexico with strong winds and rain sprinkles. Felt very much like the Oregon coast.

The rest of Arizona was beautiful, but when we went into New Mexico it became flat and boring. The only excitement to see was the dust/sand storms and the Border Patrol. We were really excited to see two of the Border Patrol vehicles on the side of the road with their lights on. Finally happy to see my tax dollars at work. This attitude comes from seeing how Oregon's social services and Oregon Health Plan are drained by the Mexicans. It is illegal to ask if a Mexican is in the US legally, but they qualify for the social services easier, because they are considered a minority. And I have seen more Mexicans in Oregon and California than I have seen in Arizona and New Mexico. I was surprised about that.

The people in Arizona and New Mexico are really nice.

Tonight we stayed in Deming, New Mexico.
