Good decision to gas up and make a run for it through NM
Update on our weird snow storm: we got 5-7" in the metro & eastern MN. Update: The news guy just reported 9" in Burnsville - as you know this is a suburb south of me.
It's that thick wet stuff that clings to the tree's branches and is so beautiful. I still have a lot on my giant maple so it's red/orange against the white branches.
I've heard drivers can be wonky in NM so drive carefully.
Umbria, Yes, I heard about the snow from my brother. Stay warm. As for drivers, they can be wonky anywhere. Two especially come to mind; one who stopped dead still on the freeway, almost causing a collision, so they could get in the right lane for the turnoff. The other just zooming over 4 lanes in front of everyone so he could. The first one by New Orleans, the second in Texas.
Wow, slept so well last night. I thought I wouldn't because of all the semis but no, slept straight through. It got chilly but I was snug with all my blankets. At first, when I was putting things together in Minnesota, I thought I was overdoing it with two sleeping bags, a warm comforter doubled over and a fleece throw which was a gift from one of the tribes when I left my job. But I certainly appreciated having them last night.
When I left Arizona for Minnesota I put most of my sweatshirts in storage. Yes, you need them in Arizona's winter. I will gratefully retrieve them out of storage when I get there, one of my first stops.
I also look forward to having my old mechanic look over the car when I get there. It's a small shop and his wife and i really hit it off so I was always confident when I took it in for regular maintenance. She was fascinated by my traveling plans and I have a lot to share.
Decided to in Benson because I remembered there was a Loves here. They're allowing me to spend the night. It's hot but I'm under a tree and there's a nice breeze.
