We made it to Phoenix with hardly a flake of snow! We woke up to an inch of snow on the car and very wet roads. After a wiper blade replacement we hit the road and had clear skies through the remainder of New Mexico. Little did we know...New Mexico is probably the windiest state in the country! We were hit the entire day with blazing high winds. There were signs posted everywhere - "Danger - wind storms" "Use EXTREME Caution" ... they were not kidding.
Here is a snippet of the winds we experienced...
We also drove past Elephant Butte Reservoir in New Mexico. It doesn't seem all that interesting, but trust us, it was nice to see some water!
The Honda tolerated the winds well and got us through! We hit a moderate rainstorm outside of Tucson, AZ and were bullied by the truckers. Alas, we made it into Phoenix at 9:30 pm with clear skies and no rain. We landed in a Holiday Inn Express outside of Phoenix and are settled in for the evening.
Tomorrow we land in Los Angeles!
