It was cold again this morning. I do not know how cold as the sun was up early and shining on the sensor for the thermometer and it said something ridiculous like 87 degrees and you know that is wrong with all the snow on the ground.

We talked with the park manager and she said that I10 was closed in both directions until the afternoon due to the snow and ice buildup. You can only imagine the mess of traffic that was backed up in both directions.

We got away about 9:30 and headed west. I saw a gas price of $2.99/gal and I pulled in and filled up. That is the cheapest we had paid for the motorhome.


The rest of the drive was uneventful and boring as is most interstate travel generally is. One big truck after another and speeding cars trying to get ahead of everyone.

We did see an interesting thing however, last night as we were approaching Deming, NM we passed a relatively slow moving vehicle with its emergency lights flashing. It really was two vehicles, one towing the other. They both were Honda Elements and the front one had been hit in the left rear and the rear one had been hit in the left front and down the side. Both were probably totaled and someone bought them and will put a rear clip on the front one and make one good car out of them. We ask each other how long they were going to drive like that? Well, this morning when we pulled in to get gas, there they were, just as we had seem them, the night before, getting fuel. Apparently they stayed in Deming somewhere and were headed west and to a new home.

We are currently in Mesa, AZ and will be here for 5 or 6 weeks until we go to Quartzsite and on th Palm Springs, CA and then to Yuma.
