Holiday Inn El Paso-Sunland & I-10 W., Tx

This is definitely the worst campground we have stayed at. Next time we will remember and take our time to visit the shower-house before we pay. It was to dirty to use. The ground was covered with little pickers that stuck to my shoes, one even came through my shoe to poke me. Oh well, live and learn.<br>

... home, nestled on the sandy outskirts of El Paso. They had one of those cool bathrooms where there&#8217;s loads of amusing literature pined on the walls. It really was a nice place to be; also Charley&#8217;s huge workshop was great to prep the bikes for Mexico. I was lucky enough to rest my head in the pop up caravan/trailer. We all had a great time, cooking at home and going out for Chinese buffet dinner. Karin and Martin have gone back to the Netherlands for a few weeks to see ...

... br><br>Wendell loves El Paso; I guess he should have joined the Army instead of the Air Force. He claims it&#8217;s the climate he really likes. At 4,000 ft above sea level, it isn&#8217;t as hot as most of west Texas, and there always seems to be a breeze. However, seems I recall they do get some snow out there and I&#8217;ve been through in the summer and found it a bit warmer than I like. Of course, you know what they say&#8230;&#8230 ...

... well into the night. We danced and sang. My only morning headache of the journey followed that night. We knew that most of us will never see each other again and almost for sure never drive down the highways and byways of another land together. We were saying goodbye with lumps in our throats almost in tears. Many of these people have traveled with me and HERO down that whole 40,000 mile road. The chances of HERO doing another journey at all ...

... Barrio is not for sale." So often urban development is bad news for the poor. Visit the Paso Del Sur website for more info, photos and video. I love the many murals sprinkled throughout the Segundo Barrio. These photos give you a taste of the flavor of the neighborhood. For more info, click on the photo thumbnail.

... we found the place very easily and felt stupid when we realized it was right off the freeway. This place is PACKED. The sites are pretty close together-you can practically reach out and touch your neighbor. But the amenities are nice and complete, and there's a nice off-leash area for Brandy. We can't believe how many people are here. And a bunch of them look like they've been here for quite a while, or intend to be. I'm ...

... are a sect of German emigrants who left Germany three generations ago for Canada and gradually worked their way down as far as Belize. They traditionally shunned away from modern technology, wars and politics. They believe in individual freedom and are consciencous objectors which is why they had to leave their homeland during World War I. Our guidebook said that they were unfriendly and didn't like outsiders. It turns out that Lonely Planet or 'Lonely Liar' as ...

Day 18: El Paso, Texas to Fort Hancock, TX (49 miles; 3:54) This morning we had a leisurely breakfast and did not leave the hotel until 9 a.m., knowing we had a short riding day ahead of us and wanting to avoid the early city traffic. Since many people were nervous about riding on the urban streets, I suggested a "mass start" thinking that a large group of cyclists would be given wide berth by the local motorists. That was soon expanded to a suggestion that the ...

... rebels. He laughed. Of course by now I'm not too interested in the donkey shows or whatever it was that they used to have out at 'Boys Town,&#8217; a place I only heard about through the barkings of of taxi drivers and other assorted facilitators. I remember distinctly the smell of bad gasoline, though, or maybe it was the lead they put in it.
