Flagstaff/Albuquerque/Amarillo

4/13 WELL you can't image what happened in Flagstaff. Earlier in the evening Highway 40 was closed due to high wind advisory; and was closed for about 6 hours. That was to be our route to Albuquerque and we hoped it would be passable by Tuesday morning.

While I was writing the blog it was raining, while I was sleeping the wind howled, the rain turned to hail and snow. Yep, it was bloody cold when Dusty wanted to go out at 6:30. She didn't last long outside, prancing around looking nastily at me asking me what the h*## happened, as she kept shifting her feet trying to stay warm.

I announced to Brian; who was buried under the covers; that it snowed. He didn't believe me, until he got up. All 4 of our slide awnings were covered in ice. 2 hours later we de-iced using water to melt it. Our lovely washed coach now a dripping hunk of metal.

We drove to Albuquerque taking Highway 40/Route 66. A nice scenic route, less traffic that on interstates. It was an easy trip, kinda ho-hum, up a grade and down a grade. So to change it up, we changed drivers on the fly around Gallup, so I drove for about 124 miles into Albuquerque.

4/14 Found in the morning a few needed repairs so did a run to Home Depot to get some screws and we left Albuquerque around 11:45 mountain time. As we were heading to Amarillo, TX, we again changed drivers on the fly (it is very open & little traffic, I don't recommend this if children are reading this), but it saves time not having to stop.

Arriving in Amarillo AND again we are getting rained on, but we are at a much lower elevation so I doubt we will get snow. Just have to watch out for tornadoes. Gulp!

Tomorrow we are going to Oklahoma City and understand there are days of rain anticipated there. What's up with all this stupid rain?
