09 /28/19 - On 9/27, I worked on getting things put away and Annie and I went for our last mexican food together.

Today, I got up a little after 8:00 am and started to put the finishing touches on the inside to get ready for Boj and Annie to come and help with the outside and a few things that I did not want to climb to take care of since Annie offered to help. Everything went smooth and I was out of the park at 10:20 am.  I stopped for gas in Pueblo since there are no truck stops until Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I then decided to drive a little longer before stopping for lunch so was about 2:35 pm.  I spent about an hour for lunch to get a little rest since it had gotten really windy and I was driving very slow.  I seem to get very tense when it is really windy and then there are signs warning about high winds.  Anyway, my next hurdle was to get over Raton Pass and of course the RV decided it had to over heat so I had to pull off to the side of the road and stop for a while to cool down.  I then took off again and put it in 1st gear and that cooled the engine off and we climbed at 30 mph.  Finally made it.  Now, I am dealing with the wind so am driving very slow.  I finally got to the rest stop at 5:50 pm.  They have changed the whole thing and it does not say overnight parking but I am going to try it any way because it does not say "no" over night parking.  I should have parked in a different area but am OK where I am so will stay.
