With new found enthusiasm we packed up, dumped, hooked up and were on the road at just after 8:00 AM. We did clean up our oil spill before we left. Altering our normal pattern of no more than 50 to 250 miles a day we toughed it out for 529 miles arriving in Tucumcari, NM at just before 6:00 PM. We had strong side winds all the way but they really got nasty as we approached Tucumcari. Amarillo, TX, a few miles east of here, had thunder storms, hail and high winds. High enough to shut down Interstate 40. Here in Tucumcari the winds have been striving to relocate our Winnebago. It should be an interesting night. Tomorrow's forecast is for 15-25 mph winds as well.
The slides on the Winnebago obeyed my every command, eagerly lurching out from the side of the Winnebago at the push of a button. The jacks also performed their job of leveling the motorhome without complaint. Things are good.
We were blessed with an incredible sunset.

Tomorrow will be another marathon day headed for a rendevous with dear friends Doug & Peg Himebaugh in Shawnee, KS. We won't make it all the way, but hopefully we will get close.
