Wichita Falls, TX

We just arrived in Wichita Falls, TX, where it is 70 degrees! It is still windy, but the air feels very good. Prominently posted in the RV park office are signs warning people not to wash a vehicle, or even part of a vehicle due to what they call Stage 4 drought conditions. I would say that Texas is very very dry by the appearance of the dry grass, very dry soil, and the low level of water in the creeks. They have some hopes of snow here this weekend. We won't be here, but it will be interesting to see if they get any. We think we are well ahead of the expected storm. We will go further south tomorrow, maybe staying in Carlsbad, NM or maybe Hobbs, NM. It's hard to see how the snow could get that far south, but the weather can be strange and fool you!

We are driving fairly short days as it doesn't stay light very late. Much better to pull into an RV park and be able to see what you are doing for set-up.
