Today, we awoke early to get started with the final prep to head home. Tony check the temp, it was -6 degrees! Tony dumped tanks while I readied the inside, we got Mammoth hooked up and were on our way by 8:30am. It helps to be dressed for skiing, with heavy lined boots, ski pants, faces and heads covered, and of course ski jackets and gloves!!
Our destination would typically be Amarillo, Tx, to stop again and visit relatives. This time, due to the fact that they were fighting colds and I was too, we opted to bypass the visit. Instead, we decided to stop in Tucumcari, NM and we figured we could get there before dark.
Our trip was uneventful, and easy. We even decided to go through Albuquerque, since it was a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't too bad at all! As we got onto I-40 we really started seeing lots of RVs going West. Even one new tan-colored North Trail! Most of them were high-end 5vers and Motorcoaches. After a while, we figured they must be snowbirds headed for warmer climates.
A few pics of the scenery:
We got to the Tucumcari KOA about 5:15, just as it was beginning to get dark. They lead us to our site, and we settled in for the night. Luckily, the temps were not going to be as cold, a low of 32 was predicted. Both of us were out pretty quick! It had been a long day.
