Trying to beat a Blizzard

Friday, December 25th, 2015

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Today we got up and began the task of packing it all up to hit the road. Since weather was predicted to be blizzard-like over eastern New Mexico and the panhandle of Texas in the coming days, we decided we would be smarter to pack up and head back to Terrell earlier then planned. 

It took us nearly 4 hours to get it all put away, tanks dumped and fresh water added, slides cleared and in, truck hitched up, lunch ate and ready to go.

We got away about 12:30 MST. The temp was barely above freezing, but it was snowing as we left, and the winds were blowing. Luckily, we had no problems getting back out of the mountains and on to Amarillo. 

So long, New Mexico mountains!

Sunset as we headed into Amarillo.

We arrived at The Oasis RV Resort about 6:30 CST, got quickly set up and we were thrn picked up by my uncle to go eat at my aunt & uncle's house, so we could leave out truck hooked to the rig. 

We had a great meal visiting with family, then they took us back. We hit the hay fairly quickly since it had been a very long and busy day.

Sad to have to go so soon, but the wintery weather will be following close on our heels.
