Awake 5:10am Temp 38 Clear & windy Overnight @ Socorro, N.M.
Beautiful morning...still a lot of wind, but today we will have a
cornering tail wind as we drive South on I-25 to Las Cruces, N.M. Then
when heading West on I-10, the wind will probably be a direct crosswind.
Leave Casey's Socorro RV Park @ 8:43am. These smooth roads with little
truck traffic on I-25 + the scenic mountains with their ever changing
desert landscaping makes for some interesting window sightseeing as we
roll along. Kathy keeps my brain active while I drive the bus: asking for
words as she gives clues on her x-word puzzle, then later we play Trivial
Pursuit without the game board. It's always a little disturbing to find
out what we don't know & should know.
Arrive @ the Lifestyle RV Park in Willcox, Arizona @ 3:00pm. We were just
here February 17,18 last month. It's an easy off, easy on, BIG rig
friendly RV park with instant on phone sites which are handy for us to use
when we can. We can both be on the phone line @ the same time.
Today's travel: 6+13 time 343 miles 38.5 gal 8.92 mpg 55.6 avg speed
After parking the bus & extending two of our slides, we get right with the
phone calls:
Give our tax accountant Jeff a call in Anchorage...talk to his wife
Brenda. Jeff is in conference & will call back later.
Call the young & ambitious couple from Pahrump, Nevada who are now living
in their 5th wheel trailer in St. Augustine, Pennsylvania. April 25 is the
date to begin pouring concrete for the basement on their new home. These
guys are movers & shakers & don't waste any time with their plans.
Call my brother Don & his wife, Josie. Don is busy helping the new owner
of his business with the heavy tax season. Josie is newly retired & busy
driving to visit their kids & grandkids.
Call Gary & Grace from Eastern Pennsylvania. They are in Kentucky en route
home from visiting the Newell service facility in Oklahoma. His leveling
system on his coach was acting up & had the system sensors replaced. They
are trying to talk us into taking a rail tour in our coach February 2007
with them. We will think about it?
Call our son Zack in Seattle. He's been busy...still playing catch-up with
learning the Linux language in computers. Zack will fly back to Purdue
April 7th to visit his friends & girlfriend for 4 days.

roasted red peppers in boursin cheese + a fresh mixed salad.
