Awake 6:36 am Temp 49 Clear sky Overnight Amarillo, Texas
The wind is from the Northwest today. We leave the campground @ 9:12 am.
Texas roads in the panhandle on I-40 & New Mexico roads have been 90%
smooth & a lot newly paved. Then entering Arizona on I-40, these roads so
far also have been great.
East of Albuquerque, a heavy downpour with rain off & on for over an hr.
Again, Kathy moves into the driver's seat @ 50 mph so I can take a pause
for the cause...after the rain ceased.
So today also was a non-stop leg: 9 hrs 23 min 517 miles 60.12 mpg .....
8.16 mph 55.2 avg speed.
Arrive @ the OK RV Park in Holbrook, Arizona @ 5:35 pm local time. We
stayed overnight at this campground February 14, 2004 during our trip
heading East to Pennsylvania. It's BIG rig friendly, easy off, easy on to
I-40 & a quiet place to hang out.
We watch the 3rd & final presidential debate. Bush did a better job of
keeping up with Kerry's offense this time around.
8:30 Dinner: Pork chops with mixed rice, leftover Singapore chicken &
fresh salad.
Return my buddy Ray's phone call from Washington State. He called while en
route & our coverage on cell phone was zilch.
While watching the late news, Albuquerque reported I-40 was closed for
some time today because of heavy snow in the Mountains just East of the
city.
We barely missed getting involved with that delay on I-40. The heavy rain
we experienced appeared to have a snow mixture at the time we went through
that pass.
Later evening: Watch movie on cable: "The mirror has two faces."
Lights out: 12:38 am
