Travels With Mabel

LebamDawg

Rolling down the road with the big rigs

Took exit "0" for the new temp location - on the edge of a desert but in west Texas what isn't. Looking at the mountains of southern New Mexico from as far west as one can be in Texas


Actually the drive going just north of Big Bend and the mountains of West Texas was rather nice. I just can't haul the big trailer at 80mph, so we got passed quite a bit

I have renamed El Paso to El Windo, El Dusto, or maybe El Pitso

Today is low 60's with wind gusts to 66 MPH - here is a picture looking at the southern NM mountains close to the picture right above


I think we are in the middle of a dust/sand/grit storm - could be worse, could be snowing

That's not country, for old man goat herders, Mabel.

Watch out for @PostGameOrangeSlices. Don't let that guy into the trailer.

I know what is worse than West Texas - East Arizona - we are about 20 miles east of Willcox. Bowie, AZ truly the middle of nowhere.

This morning we got hit with the storm that killed LA with snow. We had hail, rain, snow and wind and then more wind. 50 mph gusts. No damage but there is still beauty in the desert

Sunset the night before the storm

Sunrise the morning of

I love Arizona and am fascinated by it. On my bucket list is to go Navajo country and just wander around for a few days.

I was in Tuba City on the Navajo Nation reservation a year ago - they were still enforcing only 3 people in a store still. Edit: and enforcing strict mask wearing. I had full 5 bar phone reception but the natives seemed to block internet connections. Talked to a few other people that were mystified by this also. I had t-mobile at the time and they had Verizon. We left 3 days early to go up to another Indian reservation and had no problems with internet.

The Navajos do not White Man's technology chinfluencing their lives, is this true @Swaye?
