Since we blew that 2/2/2 Rule trying to make miles across west Texas, we made up for it today: traveled 100 miles, we were off the road shortly after noon, we're staying for two days. Not only that, but when we fueled up before getting to the RV park, we got the best fuel mileage that we've seen in quite a while. A no-wind condition, plus about 150 miles of not double towing contributed to that better fuel mileage. It makes a difference with the cargo trailer behind the coach, with no car between - which is like pulling a drag chute.
Since we knew we were only going to do 100 miles today, we took our time getting out: a leisurely morning, nice breakfast, and long hot showers (off our fresh water tank). Then, hitting the road...
Yes, that is snow on the mountains in southern Arizona. It didn't get above 59ยบ until we got close to Tucson. Rolling west, that is Texas Canyon coming up ahead of us...
The RV park we are in is definitely more upscale than any of the others on this trip. Of course, I would expect that, since the price is about 4 times what we've been paying. Nice to relax for a couple days before we move on to where we'll be down for a couple months.
Rufus enjoyed some patio time this afternoon...
Rufus was singing a tune by The Clash...
"Should I stay or should I go?" (Everybody sing!)
