Las Cruces, An RV Destination

Five years ago, I went down to Las Cruces, New Mexico to attend the Southern New Mexico State Fair.

I drove to Las Cruces from Jamestown, New Mexico via Interstate 40 and took NM Highway 6, a shortcut route to Interstate 25 to avoid Albuquerque. Interstate 25 was taken to Las Cruces. Once I reached Las Cruces, I took Interstate 10 to the Las Cruces KOA Kampground, where I stayed. 

I enjoyed my visit to Las Cruces and the state fair. I attended the fair's rodeo at the Pete Domenici Rodeo Arena. The Mexican food in town was good, although not as spicy hot as what one finds in the northern half of New Mexico.
