ANOTHER WINDY DAY.
Day 91 – The low last night was 40 degrees; the wind had died down but it’s back full-force today, and it’s quite cloudy. We hung around the RV in the morning because we were expecting a couple of phone calls – washed our hair, made bread, did some trip planning, paid some bills, etc.

From: City of Rocks State Park, Faywood, NM.
To:Rusty’s RV Ranch, Rodeo, NM.
Day 90 – It was 32 degrees this morning when we got up, and cloudy. We wanted to get out as early as we could for the trip to our next destination. Since they had no dump station at City of Rocks, we were almost out of propane in the portable propane tank, and we ran out of bread and hadn’t baked a new loaf, we had several stops to make in addition to the drive to Rusty’s RV Ranch near Rodeo, NM.

Day 89 – The low last night was 39 degrees, certainly better than the teens! The high today was 54 degrees, and unfortunately the wind gusts returned. Glad we weren’t on the road, but our friend, Cathie, was; she and Pete arrived and set up camp this afternoon around the rock corner from us.

We departed at 9:30 a.m. after dumping tanks and hooking the Honda up to the RV. This was a bit earlier than usual, and we ended up being very glad we left early.

Day 86 – It was 24 degrees this morning and the sun was shining in the distance when we got up. We watched the sunlight creep over the desert as the sun rose. It immediately felt warmer when the sun was finally shining on the RV.
