Well, I now know what it means to “smell the barn!” It means when one is so close to home, one keeps driving! So, after walking around Mesilla, NM, and taking a peek at Saguaro National Park, AZ, I kept driving. And driving. And driving. Until I felt fuzzy brained, pulled over, and found a nearby Elks to camp at tonight. 🙂
