We left Nacogdoches, TX Friday morning about 10:30 and arrived in Aledo, TX around 4:30. We were looking so forward to some cooler weather. WHAT WERE WE THINKING?!?!?! It was just as HOT and MISERABLE! We decided, shortly after we got there, we would go to bed early and get an EARLY start in the morning and not stop til the sun went down...We drove 13 hrs to Deming, NM where it was 87, cloudy and windy, and even rained a little bit...Not perfect, but A LOT BETTER than TX...We even got to watch some fireworks!!! Sunday morning we headed to Happy Trails looking forward to the DRY heat!! As we were driving, our outside temperature gauge kept going up and up and up!!!
By the time we arrived we had seen the temperature go as high as 116. BUT it was a DRY HEAT!!!
Well, we have been here a week now, and I’ll tell you what, anybody that stays here in the summer by choice has got to be CRAZY!!! The average temperature has been 110, IF NOT HIGHER!! First day here I decided to get up early and go for my walk. At 6:30am it was already 84. That was the last day it was lower than 90 at 7:00am AND the LAST DAY I went for a walk!!!
Ok, enough of the weather...we did get the motor home all put back together, and was able to move Rich’s doctors appointment from the 23rd to the 13th, so as soon as the doctor gets done with him we are heading for Freight Liner for a lube, oil, filter appointment set for 7:00am Tuesday. Then we head to Las Vegas where it’s supposed to be 106. BUT it is supposed to be 85 in Salem, OR when we get there on the 17th!!!
Since it has been TOO HOT to DO anything FUN, I really have nothing more to say. I’ll write again when the Asphalt Wanderer is wanderering in COOLER weather!!!
Take Care
Rich & Dorothy
