Where are we today ?
Last night I had a real good sleep after a very long day on Sunday. And up by 5 am to check emails and chat with Suzie back home. Things are coming together now.
Did a nice walkabout the Walmart for a bit , only 22f when I got up.
 |
| this morning at the Deming NM Walmart 18 rvs here |
 |
| 483 miles (777 kms) |
 |
| nice rest area |
After fuelling at the Flying J in Anthony Texas back on the I-10 sailed through El Paso and on down the road. Same route we followed last fall and I went to the same destination. Take advantage of good driving days I like. Leaving at 7:30 I arrived at 4:30 pm but the time zone change a lost an hour so actually 5:30pm, just starting to get dark, perfect!
 |
| many hours of these roads, very little traffic |
I just cranked up the satellite radio and and boogied along. Even listend to a few Classic radio shows from the 1940' and 50's. I do remember these and love them. Gunsmoke was one and anothe one with Raymond Burr.
 |
| every once in a while a turn in the road or a cut through a hill |
Stopped for fuel in Ozana Tx and settled in the this rest area just 30 miles down the road. The back row is very quiet away from the hiway and no trucks, and has 24 hour security as well. Nice!
 |
| our coach is way back there |
 |
| love the atmosphere |
Checkin in with Suzie and we chatted for a while, bringing each other up to speed. I emailed her my daily expenses that she takes care of and all way good. Darn I miss her..
Now gotta eat I guess, so I whipped up a salad and a turkey burger, was very tasty.
Then a bit more research and travel planning, post the blog, watch a short show on tv and off to bed. Lets see where I can go tomorrow, I have a plan lets see if it will work.
Thanks for travelling along with us (me) and keeping me company. Hope you had a wonderful day as well. The weather is looking pretty good for tomorrow gotta love it!

Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Winter.
Looks like you're not taking the shortest route, but that must have something to do with the weather!
ReplyDeleteAre you using gasbuddy.com to plan your fuel purchases, or you don't care?

I don't use gas buddy but when trying to make time I preffer flyin J with the rv lanes when towing a car and get the good sam discount of 3 cents a gallon, have been paying $1.86.9 a gallon so that pretty good.
DeleteGlad you are finding the good weather, we're thinking about both.
ReplyDeleteGood for travelling it is.
DeleteAt least you're moving along and a very experienced traveler. We know that you know exactly what you're doing. Take care and we're watching your tracks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming along.
DeleteGood travel day George. We like that rest area - stopped there for the afternoon on our way down. A good highway so easy to make some time. Hopefully the weather clears as you head east and then north.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice rest area. I am hoping for a break in the weather.
DeleteWe stayed in Deming last night and drove by the Walmart this AM. We were sorry we missed you. ☹☹
ReplyDeleteThere is a few nice cheap parks to stay at in Deming but I really don't need one for a night yet.
DeleteSafe travels Sir!...Wishing you the best of weather as you travel!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
DeleteOh George that's a LOT of miles to cover in one day. Hope you are taking lots of rest stops.
ReplyDeleteEvery rest area I stop at get out and stretch.
DeleteThat is a lot of miles for you to cover in one day! But every mile is a mile closer to your sweetie. Soon you will be together again, Take it easy and be safe out there.
ReplyDeleteNot the way I like to travel but can do it if the conditions are right.
DeleteThinking of you and your lonely journey back to Ontario George. Where the heck will you stay once back? Don't think your rig can handle these harsh Canadian winters. And other than the Milton RV park I don't know of any others that stay open during the winter...drive safe.
ReplyDeleteI chat with Suzie every morning and night, so that works out pretty good.
DeleteOur home park in Arkona is open all winter, but we will be staying at her Dad's house for a while, before we go anywhere.
Sounds like you have it all worked out.... having a plan sure makes things easier, doesn't it? Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time Sharon, works good for me.
DeleteGlad you'r staying safe and taking plenty of breaks but you missed the PDD gold award by 17 miles. Oh well that's never been your goal.
ReplyDeleteHope Suzie has everything under control back home.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I just take it whats comfortable, then stop for the night.
DeleteYep Suzie has things all under control.
We passed you some where along I-10 on our way to Columbus, TX. You are making good time. Keep safe. Hope there is no bad weather ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteDid not see you, but then you probably did not see me either.
DeleteTrying to look for a break in the weather then zip north.
If you enjoyed Gunsmoke on the road, I think you'll enjoy the audio books. I know you said you had a hearing problem, but Bill manages with all of his hearing loss. It just takes getting used to and you must turn them off in busy towns.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is I have to turn it way to loud for Suzie. She can handle 13-14 volume i need it at 17-18 even then I mstill miss a lot.
DeleteTravel Safe, George. We are all cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue glad to have you all along.
DeleteWe listen to old time radio when we're on the road if we aren't listening to an audio book. Hoping today is a great travel day for you and gets you that much closer to your better half.
ReplyDeleteSlowly getting there, just gonna watch the storm fronts right now.
DeleteYou are making good time George. We are with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Croft too bad we missed you on Sunday.
