We departed Amarillo at 8:20 am CST and aside from some 30 mph wind gusts, we had an unremarkable trip. Except for the beautiful views. The Texas panhandle is nice to look at if you like prairie views, and the state maintains Interstate 40 very well. When we crossed over into New Mexico we started to climb. Amarillo was 3672 feet above sea level (ASL), the highest we climbed was 7,073 feet, and here in Bernalillo, which is 16 miles north of Albuquerque we are at 5,075 feet ASL.
We arrived at 12:30 pm MST and set up. We are using our heated water hose for the first time this trip to prevent any water problems. Weather forecast for tonight is for rain or light snow (I know, I know, that's why we left the east coast: to avoid that stuff) after 9 pm. Temps for tonight are forecast at 41°, but tomorrow night will be 28° and Thursday night will be 19°. Brrr!
If it wasn't for the RVs in the row in front of us, this would be our view through the windshield
Tomorrow we plan to explore Santa Fe, and Thursday we'll do Albuquerque.
