For Sunday’s Drive, we’ll get the morning started a little later than usual so we can give everyone enough time to make the meetup! If you are coming from Las Cruces, we have a meetup point there as well. Our plan is to meet in El Paso, drive up to Cruces for a brief stop and then head up to Sparky’s in Hatch N.M.
El Paso Meet 10 am to 10:45 am:
Let’s start meeting up at about 10 AM at the Starbucks on the West Side on North Dessert Blvd. It’s in the parking lot of the Kohl’s on Redd and the Gateway. The address is: 5650 N. Desert Blvd EP TX 79912
Las Cruces Meet 11:30 am:
We’ll have a about a half hour drive to Las Cruces Via I-10. We’ll meet the Las Cruces group at the Starbucks on S. Valley Dr. The address is 1500 S Valley Dr., LC NM 88005
Directions from EP To LC Starbucks:
I-10 West for about 30 minutes
EXIT 140, and prepare to make a right on Avenida de Mesilla (28)
Stay on Avenida de Mesilla 28 until you reach Valley Drive. Make Right on Valley.
The Starbucks entrance is near the intersection of Hickory and Valley
Depart for Hatch by Noon
Our stop in Las Cruces should be brief, as the road we are taking to Hatch will take us about 45 minutes to an hour.
To get to Hatch, all we do is get back on to S. Valley and take it straight through to Sparky’s. The back road is narrow, has dips, and sometimes farm equipment. There’s also a Border Patrol Check Point in the middle of nowhere so we urge everyone to watch your speed and watch for road hazards.
Arrive at Sparky’s about 1 pm
They usually have a band and what not so it could be a little crowded, but we always make the best of it! Hope everyone can make it!

We’ll meet you in Las Cruces…If anyone is interested, after lunch in Hatch, my husband and I will continue on the back roads along Caballo Lake and then to Elephant Butte Lake, if the weather is as nice as predicted…It’s a nice drive…We do it in the summer on our bike…About another hour drive of scenic roads…Anyone can follow…
That sounds great! I’m sure a few people would like to do that. Thanks Marie!
The girlfriend and I would be down for doing that little trip afterwards too. We are also in Cruces, so we shall see everyone tomorrow! 🙂
