Day 49:
Sat, November 14, 2015:
David wanted to drive home via routes 40/44/70/71/80 so in order to accomplish that without issues, we needed to drive the higher elevations (Flagstaff AZ – Albuquerque NM and east) when the weather was clear with no rain, snow, etc. As it was the night time temps there were low 20’ to high teens…not conducive for spending a really cold night in rv with tanks to freeze (not pretty). We picked a nice weather window just before some snow was due to fall and drove from Las Vegas to Amarillo, TX…about 15 hours worth with 2 stops for gas and one to eat. Spent the night in a Crackerbarrel Country store parking lot just off route 40…not very quiet but okay for this purpose and one night.
Route 40 turned out to be pretty much a truck route…but they were very well behaved. Even though it was a Saturday, there were a fair amount of trucks travelling but they got off earlier than we did and up and going later. PLENTY of truck stops, rest areas were much more scarce. I would take this again.
