3/17/15 - On (3/16) we left the Home Depot parking lot and headed for Del Rio where we had planned to spend another night at Walmart on our way to Carlsbad, New Mexico.  When I called the RV park in White City, New Mexico (the place is closer to the Carlsbad Caverns) I was told that they do not make reservations and it was first come first serve and they only  have 12 spots so I was very uneasy about getting in to late on 3/17.  Therefore, we decided not to stop off in Del Rio but to make it a longer day and drive to Sanderson, Texas instead.  We were traveling a two lane highway and there was very few towns and then the towns were very small.  We found a spot to pull off the main highway between two little towns.  Had some dinner and were relaxing since we knew we would be going to bed early since we try to save the house batteries.  We soon learned that we were between a railroad track and the main highway.  So the first few hours of trying to get some sleep, trains were going by or semi trucks were driving by!!  Later, a truck pulled in right behind us and decided to keep his engine running so we got up and started driving.  It was close to 1:00am.

3/17 - We then found another small picnic area that had enough room for us so stopped again and now only had the semi trucks driving by!!  At some point, we had a truck stopped right behind us and another parked (barely off the road) in front of us!!  We decided to try a little sleep again when around 6:00am there was another truck that tried to stop and so we got up again and took off.  We found a gas station in Fort Stockton and stopped there to re-group and wait for day break. Around 8:00am, we left Fort Stockton and got into White City at 10:30am (there was a time change) and we got our spot.  Of course then it started to rain but we got the car unhooked and the RV hooked up before noon.  Now am trying to get warm, get a few things done and then will be taking a nap!!
