Third Day on the Road - Grants, New Mexico

 Yuma tried the same thing again last night, but after just one walk outside he was done.  He woke up every two hours and whined to go outside, but I said no.  Maybe tonight he will have learned.  I hope so.

We were up and on the road by 8 o'clock this morning.  Clouds had rolled in last night and before we got down the road very far, fog rolled in.


After two beautiful sunny days, I guess my luck has changed.  There's a winter storm north of us and we are getting the lower end of it as it passes by today.

It wasn't long before we were moving into New Mexico.


Then the sleet and snow started, making it hard to see the road, but I didn't let it stop me.  It would snow for a while and then let up for a bit, and then it would start again.





Took this photo when I stopped for gas.

We stopped once for gas and when we arrived at Albuquerque around 3:15 with the saved hour on Mountain Time.  I decided to move on because the road was so crowded, and it was snowing pretty bad.  We ended up about 40 miles further down I-40 in the town of Grants, NM.  It was a 500 mile day, but tomorrow will be much shorter.

We ate the remaining chicken we had and we're calling it a night.  

Thanks for stopping by.
