Let Me Catch You Up

I got up Monday morning to high winds, rain, snow and temperatures in the low thirties...There was only one decision to make...Go or no go?..Well the final decision was to wait twenty four hours and see what would happen...Tuesday morning was cloudy, but it wasn't raining...Checked the weather, on the computer along the route, and looked good except Raton Pass...We hooked the car up and disconnected utilities...Looked at the sky one more time, jumped into the motor home and took off...The wind was a little strong but navigable...When we got to Castle Rock we could see some breaks in the clouds...Traffic was heavy in Colorado Springs...When we got to Trinidad there was snow on the side of the road...All the mountains were capped with snow...Now the dreaded pass...The road is clear and traffic is moving...We reach the summit at forty five MPH and start down the South side and gear down...There is still heavy, broken clouds as we enter New Mexico...I told Mary Ann that I wanted to go as far as we could with out becoming too tired...Interstate 40 looked good...We turned West at Albuquerque and decided we had had enough for the day..We stopped at Enchanted Trails RV Park and were assigned a space...The sky was clearing and the wind began to calm down...Mary Ann prepared a delicious Chinese Chicken dish and I checked the e-mail and was ready for bed...I woke up and could not go back to sleep, so I decided to let you know we are well on our way to Happy Trails and should arrive on Thursday...We want to stop and spend the night at the crater east of Flagstaff...Well I will talk to you later...Philip
