Southbound on the I-25 today
It rained steadily throughout the night. Watching the neighbour hook up his trailer, in the rain, at 5 degrees C, in the dark, made me very glad of our class C. The rain got heavier as we went; Santa Fe rush hour was not a problem, but oh, Albuquerque. We got there about 9 am, figuring the worst of the rush hour would be over. The rainfall was torrential, visibility was very bad, especially when passing semi's blew by. Then, to our puzzlement we came to a stop, crawling ahead, then stopping again. 4 lanes southbound, plugged. Accident? Construction? None we could see, after a 20 Km/hr. crawl for miles through the city, everything eventually loosened up, and we slowly got back to normal freeway traffic speeds - posted 75 mph, us doing 55, everyone else over the limit. Just another city rush hour, I suppose.
About Socorro, we noticed white along the edge of the road. Yep, snow!
There was a lot of moisture in the air, the entire drive today was in and out of dark blue bands of clouds and rain, with the occasional bolt of lightening to liven things up.
We found an absolute hidden gem for our stay tonight, Caballo Lake RV Park. Great wi-fi, electricity/sewer & water, lots of room, very clean, a personable owner/operator, next to the state park, a view of the lake, and $15/night!! (plus whatever you use in electricity) Monthly
rates are $150! There is a happy hour from 4:30 to 6; Nancy went and had a good visit with the park denizens. We are ahead of schedule, with 450Km to go to make our Friday reservation in Tucson. We may stay here another day.
