It’s 8:20 am and we’re at our second gas stop. Left Mike’s
at 4 am and saw a beautiful sunrise while coming through the southern end of
Arizona. The mountains were very rocky and very beautiful.
Averaging 9.4 mpg at the moment which is about what I
expected considering the Toyota is a monster truck pulling the Shadow Cruiser
loaded down with a whole lot of stuff! We’re rotating driving every 2 hours
which is nice – just as road fatigue sets in, it’s time for a break.
Got a reservation for a pull-through spot in Van Horn,
Texas for tonight. Pull through spots are highly desirable so we don’t have to mess with
backing up the trailer. We’ve got a pool, internet, and all the modern
conveniences afforded campers – and then some. Just as an aside, my idea of ‘roughing
it’ is sitting in my new Sharper Image shiatsu massage chair pad which only had
3 speeds….hmmmm….need to upgrade!
You are much earlier risers than we are. After we putter around having our coffee (cocoa for me) and checking our emails, we never seem to get on the road before 8 am.
