The
forecast for the drive today was for winds from the WSW at 20-35 mph. So, to get an early start before the winds
came-up, we left the RV park at Las Cruces at 7:30 am. As it turned out the winds weren’t all that
bad and we made good time all the way to our stop for the night in Buckeye, AZ,
just west of Phoenix. We also gained an
hour crossing into AZ, as they don’t recognize Daylight Savings Time and are in
the same time zone as California while DST is in effect.
After
we arrived at the Leaf Verde RV Resort in Buckeye, we went down the road for a
late lunch, once again at the local Cracker Barrel. You always know what you are getting at a
Cracker Barrel – down-home comfort food at reasonable prices. All the restaurants are laid out the same
way, have the same food and prices, and the same gift shop with a lot of “”cute”
things. You could be in Arkansas or
Arizona and couldn’t tell the difference.
After lunch, we did the laundry and had dinner in the RV tonight. The winds are predicted to be high again tomorrow on the way to Edwards AFB, our stop for the night. We are planning to start early again tomorrow to beat the winds that usually get stronger into the afternoon.
