Seligman to Grants to Tucumcari - Day 4

Published April 27, 2021

I got distracted working so didn’t get to this yesterday.

On Day 3, we had a short drive from Seligman to Grants, New Mexico. The wind wasn’t too bad but was gusty in parts. Overall driving wasn’t that bad.

Grants, NM is in the middle of a lava field so around the RV park there were interesting formations like this:

Work wise, I got further ahead on my email list (one email a day for a list that gets sent out 3 times a week) and finished a web landing page I was having to build/design myself because my prefered contractor isn’t available.

We went to bed early since we were getting up early again at 5am-ish.

Woke up and all seemed calm and then gusts of wind stated gently rocking the RV.

We were on the road by 6am and had a pretty easy drive to Tucumcari, NM. We got here by around 11:30am after some gas stops and driving at a moderate pace. Some parts were calm, some were windy.

Since we’ve parked for the day at the RV park, the winds have gone up considerably. According to the weather, these are likely 45mph gusts which would be no fun at all to drive in.

Tomorrow the winds are supposed to drive down and we should have mostly still air till Florida. The next excitement will be thunderstorms.

I wouldn’t want to live in a place that has this much wind this often. Wyoming is also like this. California and Minnesota do not.
