Day 2 - Vaughn, NM

Friday - An almost 300 mile travel day from Big Spring, TX. The original plan was to a large rest area near Mesa, NM, a very small community north of Roswell. But it was a no overnight parking rest area. We continued on to an RV park in Vaughn, NM. Pretty pricy for what you get. Full hookups but we really only needed electricity as it was 87°F when we arrived. 

At our lunch stop, I left the RV engine running and we were able to run the A/C. I had it turned down to 50% max power. I had turned it on about half an hour before stopping to cool down the RV. At some point, the refrigerator was switched to propane and was not running for most of the drive as I usually turn off the propane at the tank while traveling. It was 47°F by the time we arrived. Checking this needs to be on our check list. 

A drive-through in town came highly recommended by the campground host and had 4.8 stars on Yelp. The food was excellent.

Just another overnight stop. The best thing is the forecasted low of 56°F. That will be a nice change. The elevation here is almost 6000’.
