We left Kerrville about 6:45 am yesterday morning after filling up on diesel which we obtained at the cost of $2.39. That was the best price we have seen this year. As soon as we got onto I-10, we ran into thick fog, and this lasted for the next 150 miles. Since it was early, we also kept an eye out for deer trying to cross the road since they are such a nuisance in this area.
After refueling in Fort Stockton we headed north on 285, finally stopping for lunch in Carlsbad and then onto Cline's Corners, fighting winds most of the way. Then westward on I-40 to Albuquerque. We had come a day early, as the long range weather forecast had predicted even worse winds for today.
Jerry was flying home after meetings in Huntsville this week, and Marlene was ending teaching Friday, her last day before Christmas break. We were glad to relax and enjoy each other's company.
I have to make new arrangements for the tie-downs that hold the car on the trailer, since two of them came loose as we were driving the last several miles to Jerry and Marlene's house. Fortunately, the car stayed on the trailer. We were really glad to stop after that bit of excitement. Happy travels.
