One hour from Cali.

The wind was insane today. We drove across New Mexico and a good chunk of Arizona with head winds ranging between 40-60 mph. Gas mileage was in the toilet! Surprise gusts made driving an adventure. Still we made it to western AZ and will drive home tomorrow. That trailer tire was low again this morning and I can't see any damage so I am thinking it has a bad seal on the rim. At the gas station in Nowhere, NM the air pump took air out of the tire instead of in. They had to reset the compressor or something but I was able (after about 10 minutes of holding the nozzle) to get the tire filled up. It's going back to Les Schwaab when I get home.
Jim, Miles, Amelia, and Victor Jr made it back to Cali by way of Southern Air.
Besides the wind the drive was pretty uneventful. Except for a fox that ran across the hwy at about 20 miles an hour and then dashed into the brush of the high desert. Olivia thought it was pretty cool.
