Dana and I are planing to take off for Elephant Butte, New Mexico in the morning should be a good trip checked the weather and it looks good. I can not wait to see all our good friends. Not sure if we will stop for the night anywhere but if we do it might be a Walmart parking lot somewhere along the route. Last year it took about 26 hours for the trip from Sturgis, SD.

26 hours? "Not sure if we will stop for the night"??!! Sounds like a 3 day trip to me.

Well, I HAVE to presume that you are planning on wintering out there. Either that or you want to be "first-in-line" for the New Mexico rally in March. I've heard of "early birds," but I think this may be the earliest.
Seriously, have a safe trip. Considering the general direction you are going from South Dakota, I'd go as early as possible to miss snowy mountain passes. I actually envy you.

Stayed at Elephant Butte State Park last spring, beautiful area! Couldn't believe what a bargain the New Mexico State parks were.
Safe travels

We made it safe and yes we will spend the winter here, third one. As far as the rally goes we are staying just a hop, skip and a jump from Elephant Butte rv park. Plan to attend the rally however all the planing means nothing untill it actually happens.
