el paso

Anyone stay in El paso for the winter. We know it gets a little chilly in the dead of winter, but there's no humidity to speak of and few mosquitoes. We stayed in Port Isabel last winter and between the high winds, humidity and rain, we're opting for the desert this time.
We tried Florida and the bug situation is worse than south Texas. The ocean is nice, but we don't need to be near it for the entire winter.

    I Wintered in Benson AZ for a couple years. Weather was usually nice with only a few cold days but it always seemed windy. The Texas hill country is cooler but not as windy. Coming from MN almost anything is better.

    "To the OP, you need to come over to southern Arizona for the winter. Nice weather and no bugs and no snakes (in winter).

    Zero in on the greater Tucson, Benson, Phoenix, Apache Junction and Yuma areas...lots of RV parks, boondocking, county and state parks. "

    Having spent 7 winters in AZ, mostly in the Mesa, Apache Junction areas, I totally agree. enough so, that after nearly 10 years of full-timing , we bought a winter home in Mesa. We are Happy "part time campers" now.
