Moving West

It was colder last night than any other night on this trip.  Van Horn is higher up than you would think and it does get very cold.  We woke up this morning to a frozen hose and water spigot.  I knew it was going to be cold and should have disconnected the water hose, but laziness prevented me from doing it.  As they say, "no harm, no foul" and I was able to disconnect the hose.  The spigot thawed out about the time we were leaving.

It was another long day and we drove 390 miles, but it was a relatively easy day.  There wasn't much wind, so that was good and traffic was light once we got through El Paso.   There was a lot of snow along the roadside until we were about 80 miles west of Las Cruces.  They must have had a lot of snow there the past week or so.
 
We managed to purchase gas for $2.929/gallon at the FlyingJ in El Paso.  They have the RV island in a strange place and I drove past it and had to turn around in the truck parking lot.  We took on 65 gallons at a cost of $192.45.  How would you like to fill up your vehicle a couple times a week at that cost?  That was enough gas to get us all the way to Tucson and have some leftover.

We are stopped for the night in Benson, AZ and will go into Tucson on Friday morning.
