We departed from Denver two days early due to a weather forecast of snow and temperatures in the teens. It turned out to be the right decision because Aaron called us on Sunday to confirm that they had over 6″ of snow on the ground and it was still snowing.
We took the southern route down I-25 over Raton Pass into New Mexico and then across the high plains on US-87 toward the Texas panhandle. It was a sunny fall day and the scenery was beautiful.
We spent the night at the Clayton RV Park in Clayton, NM. The park was good for an overnight stop and had good Verizon cell phone and data access.
