Day 15-June 9, 2016-More Deming, NM
Got up to about 98 but the rain storm in the early afternoon cooled it down to 80. Spent the morning catching up on phone calls, e-mail, etc. and looking at campground books to find a place for the next few days. Rain storm and thunder in early afternoon caused lots of puddles. Went into town for groceries at Wal-Mart and noticed there was a lot of standing water on the sides of the road-too much for the amount of rain. Then we realized there is no drainage or gutters on the roads. It must be so dry here they don’t worry about it. After Wal-Mart we went to Rossa Luna Winery about 2 miles from town. Nice winery, mostly dry Italian reds. They have 30 acres here and another 300 upstate a bit. Told us how wine in the US started in San Antonia, NM, not far from here. They ship a lot of grapes all over the world from here. We like some of their wines better than any we’ve tasted. Back to camp for dinner (leftover ribs). Another beautiful sunset. Off again tomorrow.
