Thanks for the suggestion though and who knows maybe we will hit it some other time when we are passing through the area.<br /><br />We hate crosswinds more than headwinds, just not fun to drive in at all!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-45539458017802764452018-04-15T11:10:47.667-04:002018-04-15T11:10:47.667-04:00Yep, it's no fun driving in high winds especia...Yep, it's no fun driving in high winds especially in a motorhome so if you don't have to be somewhere it is better to sit back and let it pass. The temperature in the motorhome this morning was about 42F (6C) but it is warming up nicely now and is suppose to be a beautiful day. I hope things warm up for you there as well. Albuquerque isn't a bad place to be holed up at.<br /><br />We are looking forward to a stay at Palo Duro Canyon. Enjoy your travels and give Rosie an pet and hug for us. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-7598314935680379112018-04-15T10:52:32.490-04:002018-04-15T10:52:32.490-04:00We sure are!

That pass has more than paid for itself and we have really enjoyed all the hiking that we have been doing in the parks.<br /><br />Trust us we aren't in a huge rush, if we have to do a couple of long driving days near the end then so be it. Hopefully though the weather will have improved a little.<br /><br />You guys watch the weather too, hopefully you can dodge any storms. Hope we can meet up at Cabri! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27252126214071764852018-04-15T10:47:27.050-04:002018-04-15T10:47:27.050-04:00As Kevin says, driving a motorhome in high winds a...As Kevin says, driving a motorhome in high winds and a crosswind like that makes it feel like it's a big sailboat. Definitely not fun to drive in conditions like that and that is why we stop when we did.<br /><br />We are definitely keeping our eyes on the weather north of us!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20484087409601596352018-04-15T10:41:49.743-04:002018-04-15T10:41:49.743-04:00We didn't make it to where we wanted to be but...We didn't make it to where we wanted to be but we did find somewhere good to stop along the way.

The city of Haskel just north east of you has a full hook ups city park that is free for one night. Stayed there this year on my way back home. Those cross winds are terrible to drive in. If only we were sail boats.

Yesterday we had 30 to 50 mph winds then woke up to 26 degrees this morning. Today is much better in the 60's had a nice hike at Petroglyphs National Monument.

Good thing you hadn't made it as far north as some parts of Missouri. Tornadoes and the ensuing destruction.
