I woke up at 8, got up and did the pet stuff and had breakfast. Then I went out to hook up. The hook up went much better without a fueling trip. We hit the road by 9.
Today the traffic was much nicer. That was good, because we were going through El Paso. For reference it's about 50 miles to get from one end to the other.
Once we got through El Paso we started listening to podcasts again. It was really fun. There were a couple of worries. For a lot of the trip it looked like we might be cutting it tight on fuel. It turned out to be fine. We used 26 gallons. We had a strong crosswind all day. At one point a huge tumble weed blew across the road in front of it. I had to swerve violently to avoid it. I was really worried about the axles, but it doesn't seem to have affected them.
We did a regen near the end of the trip. The ash level went down to 25. That's not good, but it's a lot better than the 45 it went down to on yesterday's regen.
I had to stop at a deserted exit about 20 miles from Ft. Stockon to take a shit. I wasn't going to make it to the park. I blame it on the pizza I had yesterday.
We got to the park about 2:30. We set up and then went back into town to fuel up. We found another place with $4.75/gal. It was the cheapest in town, everything else was > $5. Then it was back home.
I sat down to do some surfing and fell asleep. The cats got another early dinner thanks to another time zone change.
We ate dinner at the cafe at the park. It was pretty good. After dinner was a few more videos and some surfing. I've used over 1/3 of the data limit, so I'm going to have to lay off the videos. Back to just surfing.
