More wind! It’s a windy year is the southwest and chilly for the area with periods of rain throughout the day and overnight. We, along with the other campers are hunkering down for the day and evening. Overnight it rains and in an Airstream the rain makes a pleasant and relaxing sound on the roof, the perfect recipe to cuddle up and sleep in.
So far, we’ve visited 5 National Parks: Hot Springs, Arkansas; Big Bend, Texas; Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands, New Mexico; and Seguaro, Arizona. On Friday, we are leaving Arizona to travel to Joshua Tree NP in southern California, for our 6th National Park in 3 months of travel. Not too bad for a couple of newbies.
Depending on the weather, we may be able to visit a couple others NP’s on our return trip home, fingers crossed. Ideally, we hope to travel I40 from JTNP but it looks like northern Arizona is blanketed in snow and cold temperatures. I think we may adjust our plans accordingly and travel the southern route on I10 to El Paso, Texas before heading north on I20. Regardless, we are on our way to returning to Ohio and warmer weather!
JTNP area recently has had snow but this weekend the temperatures are forecast to be in the 50s during the day and 30s at night. Our plans are to park at the General George Patton Museum in Chiriaco Summit to visit it and the NP. The museum offers dry camping spots free of charge and are conveniently located to visit the park.
