Benson to Demming

This was a short drive, crossing from Benson AZ to Demming, NM. We had a lot of wind along the way - sometimes quartering, sometimes from behind and for a while on our starboard beam. When we had it coming at us from the side our speed dropped to about 50mph in order to maintain control.

Today was also unusual for the number of trucks that passed us. Probably more than any day we've been on the road.

We got to Demming and found a place to stay. After getting set up we are hunkered down for the night. Even with the jacks down as stabilizers, the rig is rocking and bouncing in winds that are gusting to forty mph coming at us out of the SW and hitting the right rear of the coach. Should be a jolly evening!!

Todays distance, 146 miles. Trip milage so far 1,999 miles.
