Wednesday Feb 9th
Interstate 10 exit 159 truck stop to Cielo Ranch driveway 6 miles East of Kent TX
Worked on Aaron's shift and brake cables in the RV with the heat blasting while we waited for the weather to warm up. Despite waiting til 2pm to start it was still only in the mid 20's and felt colder due to a 20-30mph headwind the 1st 18 miles.
We welcomed the mostly uphill journey today as it made it bearable trying to stay warm. About 6 miles into the climb I found a concrete bridge that had a nook isolated from the bitter cold wind and the concrete was soaking up the sun all morning. It felt like heated mini fort and gave an opportunity to warm up and catch up on blogging as Aaron ground his way up the mountain.
Due to the cold, wind, hills and late start we only managed 24 miles today but we did manage to finish the stretch on Interstate 10 and find quiet roads. Since we finished in the middle of nowhere we just camped in the RV off the road with no houses in site. We ran the generator all night with the electric heater blasting to defrost our bodies.
