New Mexico to Mississippi

Upon pulling off the Freeway in Deming our overnight spot, we realized that we forgot to stop by the dumpster upon leaving Country Thunder.  Happy to say that our Glad Force Flex trash bag held up for 269 miles.

U.S. Route 82 is an east–west highway in the Southern United States. Created in 1931 eventually became a 1,625-mile route extending from the White Sands of New Mexico to Georgia's Atlantic coast.  We got on in White Sands but turned off 500 miles short of the end.
