Still Alive in the Small RV

Yep, we’re both still alive after 3 nights in the 25’ camper.

We left about 8 AM or so.  Did a dump and all that.

It was almost all head wind today and all back roads.  I do 55-60 mph on these back roads.  The friggin speed limit is 75 mph and they do it.  Oh well, plenty of passing lanes.  Traffic was very very light all day.  Got gas in a small town.  I took 45 gallons at $2.19 a gallon.  Yes, it’s a 55 gallon tank.  We averaged 8.9 mpg for our 1st tank.  I think it will go up a little more.

Here’s a pull off where we had lunch.  Could have spent the night.DSC_0038A nearby road runner was watching us. No pic.

Now this place was awesome.  If we were heading south towards Livingston we would have bought a lot of stuff! DSC_0042

Our new residence for the night.  Childress County Park, EW $15 and no neighbors except for some geese down on the pond. Very nice and would stay again for sure.DSC_0044
