Leaving Las Cruces

After spending a very relaxing and productive week with my wonderful aunt and uncle in Las Cruces it was time for us to get back on the road and continue our travels. Many thanks to them for all the wonderful hospitality.

We continued west towards Tucson, Arizona.

We spent a couple nights at Snyder Hill BLM. 

We visited the San Xavier Mission and Indian Burial Ground.  San Xavier Mission was founded as a Catholic mission by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. Construction of the current church began in 1783 and was completed in 1797.  It is the oldest intact European structure in Arizona.
