rdsburg, N.M. with a 45 degree temp and sunny, clear, blue skies. 10: 00 a.m. - An hour of driving and we now have lots of wind at 4074 ft. This area which is about 163 miles from El Paso, TX is always windy. In the motorhome we have to be very cautious going through the canyons. Pulling the trailer also is a bit worrisome. It is 55 degrees and still sunny, clear nice day.
12:30 p.m. - El Paso, TX sure has a lot of smog and a 60 degree temp with a
lot of road construction. Gas here is $1.65 gallon. We can see Mexico from this freeway across the Rio Grande and on the left side of the freeway and N.M. on the right side.

They asked what we had in the trailer and what kind of dog we had. Guess Abby was too small to be considered a dog stuffed with drugs, so they let us through. hahahahaha. We have had a lot of wind coming right at us from the West making our gas mileage go down. We are at 4500 ft. which I guess, is called the High Deser
t. Not much here but sagebrush and dinky palm trees. The speed limit here is 75 m.p.h. but like most of the roads we have traveled, no one pays attention to the speed limits.

The roads are dry and the temp is a pleasant 67 degrees and my driver feels good for at least another 100 miles.
