We checked the weather down range this morning and decided to stay here another day.
Las Cruces is still under a high wind warning until 11:00 am and Fort Stockton, TX, our next destination, is experiencing freezing rain/sleet with a high of 34 degrees. Weather there is not predicted to clear out until later tonight, so today definitely isn't a good travel day. The forecast for the rest of the drive to Florida also looks better by waiting here today. The impact of the delay will be that we will not have an extra day in San Antonio as planned, but we should still get to Florida on Saturday. We will visit San Antonio another time.
So, today we will R&R in Las Cruces with activities TBD.
4:00 pm
As the weather improved and the wind died down, we decided to talk a walk to a nearby Cracker Barrel Restaurant for lunch. The restaurant was visible just across the freeway but we wisely decided to not climb the fence and dash across. So, we walked to the underpass down the street and on to the restaurant for a pleasant lunch. We noticed a Walmart next door so we also picked-up a few supplies before heading back to the RV. All-in-all, we had probably a 1/2 mile walk.
We will have shrimp and pasta for dinner tonight in the RV, go to bed early and get on the road early in the morning.
