The word for today was headwind. We were fighting a headwind almost all day. At some points I had the pedal almost floored, and we were going 50 miles per hour, pulling the 5th wheel (trailer). The fuel mileage was abysmal, between 6 and 7 mpg. Some areas had tornados.
The Spanish Peaks near Walsenburg Colorado can be seen for many miles around. The other picture was taken on Raton Pass, I-25 on the Colorado – New Mexico border, with the Colorado, New Mexico, and USA flags.
We started the day in Boulder, finally getting away at 10:15 AM. We made it in to Las Vegas, New Mexico at 5:30 PM. A hard day driving. Our campground is rather basic, so no WIFI connection. I tried to access the internet through my cell phone, but no luck. So I plan to post Wednesday's report on Thursday.
