About 9 years ago, we drove our Discovery motor home to New Orleans, for the winter Harley-
Davidson, dealer meeting. We stopped in Deming, and pulled into one of several RV parks, just off the freeway. I made the mistake of hooking up the water hose, and the next morning, the hose and faucet were frozen solid. We stopped here last night, but it's not quite as chilly as it was the last time we were in Deming. However, the temperature fell into the 50's, for the second night in a row, and I'm a happy camper. During our travels, I have discovered a valuable website that allows travelers to critique RV parks. The website www.rvparkreviews.com provides valuable information about RV parks, and has been useful to us on several occasions. Rather than pull into one of about 5 RV parks, just off the freeway in Deming, I found a Passport America Park about 4 miles south of town, call Low-Hi RV park. I'm always suspect of Passport Parks, because we have found a few to be in bad shape. That's where this website really comes in handy, because you can read feedback from folks who have actually stayed at the park you're interested in. The reviews on Low-Hi were all good, and for $15.59, it was worth the 4 mile drive out of town. Today, we have about a 5 hour drive to Tucson, where we have a service appointment tomorrow at Beaudry RV. Our kids are out of town for a couple of days, but will be back Tuesday, and we're looking forward to seeing Marc, Chandra, and Laila.
