Reading the posts from last year, my wife and I have decided to hang out in the USA RV Park in W. Gallup another day. The Weather Channel is forecasting sustained winds of 40 to 45 MPH - with gusts to 60 to 65 MPH between here and the continental divide. We were planning to head to Albuquerque and the Sandia Peak Arial Tramway. I have found that the online weather channel has been remarkably accurate about both conditions and timing. We are driving from Long Beach, CA to our home in Chester Springs, PA in a '99 Winnebago 38' Adventurer with a Jeep Cherokee Toad. Even though we are on something of a 'deadline-schedule' we have opted reluctantly to stay-over one more day. Tomorrow and the rest of the week seem windy but less so than today's forecast. Our friends from whom we purchased the Winnie and who are highly experienced, RVers, advised not to attempt travel in winds above 40 MPH and to think twice even then about getting out on a flat open and windy terrain. So here we are. Later, I will unhitch the Jeep and we will do some sightseeing around Gallup. We have just finished a 3 month stay in LB, avoiding the Pennsylvania winter. Also considering becoming full timers. These three months have been terrific. This weather delay just adds to the adventure and to the story we can tell our grandkids!
