Sounds like you're having fun so far. 
Watch your speed in the morning approaching Van Horn. Tickets are the main source of income for law enforcement. Then the next speed trap comes quickly when the limit drops from 80 to 70 with little warning.
Just a heads up, so it doesn't ruin your day.

First of all, congratulations on retirement; and congratulations on the extended Corvette trip. It is a fun way to travel. It looks like your route was taking you up I-10 along the Rio Grande and through El Paso. Is there any danger driving through that area, being so close to Mexico, and with all the border crossing problems we hear about? You obviously made it okay. Just wondering.
Again, congratulations, and enjoy the rest of your trip.
