April 26. Having concluded the blog entry on Monday after our visit to Sedona we decided we needed to check the weather for the next part of the trip. Good thing, the original itinerary had us going I-40 to Tucumcari, but the weatherman had severe thunderstorms and possible hail predicted for that route. We changed to Las Cruces, NM and and had a beautiful sunny day off the interstate on two lane road from Holbrook to Deming. Very enjoyable ride and a pleasant night in Hacienda RV Resort. Excellent facilities with private showers and other amenities. Deb was slightly less pleased because of the proximity to I-10, which I found as white noise that helped me sleep.
On the road at 7:30 we planned for Kerrville, Tx again due to weather considerations. We are behind a storm and want to stay behind it rather than drive into it but we expect scattered thunderstorms tonight, clearing we hope by morning.
I am in the campground, River Trail Cottages & RV in Kerrville. A bit pricey but will do for the night. Dry as we setup and doesn't look bad yet, but rain expected after 10. The plan for tomorrow is Lafayette, La and the weather doesn't look great all day but we will see what we get. No point in going further as the storm is more severe the further east you go all the way to Alabama. That will leave us a short day Friday arriving at my brother's under clearing skies.
Next update from Alabama.
I'm so glad you watched the weather and altered your route. I was concerned for you guys when I saw the weather news about the severe storms. Stay safe and enjoy your journey. Hugs T
