On the Road Again 1-24

The sunshine was back AND there was no wind, so Larry got his hair cut finally…we timed it just right, the breeze started kicking up just as we were finishing. I was quick because it was cold too and it turned out pretty good.

We hit the road about 10:45 and had a nice uneventful drive. It was breezy and it is quite the climb up the mountains with the trailer, they were really pretty with the snow on them…it looked like they had been coated with cornstarch. These shots have the White Sands in front of the mountains.

We only went as far as Deming, NM, 139 miles. We went to Walmart first to get some groceries and the whole side parking lot was full of semi trucks and they were coming and going like in a rest area…very odd.

We were all set up by about 2:30, I like these short travel days. Larry ran into a guy at the office that had traveled yesterday across Texas in all that really bad weather we had and had about a third of the lining and insulation torn off of the underside of his 5th wheel. I’m glad we had decided to wait.

The train is noisy and close but at least it doesn’t have to blow its horn. Going to be really cold here tonight too, in the low 20’s.

For the curious out there, our quest for a winter home in NM didn’t pan out for now and we have personal business to take care of in Northern California so that is where we are headed with no time for side trips or sight seeing.
