From WalMart in Alamosa – the skies over the pass, i.e. east: the route I came.<\/p>\n Headed west toward South Fork from Alamosa.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
This is going to be short.<\/p>\n
The drive today was short: 174 miles or so but 150 on a 2 lane over a mountain pass.<\/p>\n
BUT, last night, the wind!!! It blew so hard that the power was off and on and I finally brought slides in to decrease the rocking and the noise. Every time I drifted off, some noise woke me or Auggie or Bear who were also restless because of the noise. <\/p>\n
The wind finally died down 2:00 a.m. ish but I’m not sure if it was 2:00 DST or the fall back 2:00.<\/p>\n
I slept soundly until 5:00 a.m. fall back time but did not feel at all rested. The skies in my travel direction looked black and the wind was gusting, but weather looked to get worse so I got going ASAP.<\/p>\n
It was windy in spots and rainy, but no snow. Not as bad as I feared and with a supply stop arrived at my folks shortly after 1:00 p.m. All was situated quickly and we had a wonderful afternoon relaxing and watching football AND enjoying Bill’s margaritas and guacamole followed by my mother’s Mac ‘n Cheese and Bill’s special beans for supper.<\/p>\n
Dinner was extra early for my benefit and I ran out of steam about 5:15 p.m.<\/p>\n
Bear, Auggie and I are all well, settled into our cozy spot (see Instagram) and looking forward to sitting here and being with family.<\/p>\n
I’m off to bed.<\/p>\n
Below, a few scenes from the road:<\/p>\n
