With a relatively early departure, and nothing "touristy" to delay us along the way, we ended up putting in a longer day than expected. After putting in long days back in January to get away from winter's cold, we have found that 200 to 250 miles per day is a comfortable target. Today's mileage was nearly 300 - we are spending the night just outside of Abilene, TX.
Between comments from our followers and phone calls to family back home, we understand that quite a few friends and family are reading these postings fairly regularly. Thanks for the feedback. It makes it easier to put these thoughts down, knowing someone is actually reading them.
Now to really bother those readers: although it is only early April, we have been forced to run the AC. A little bit yesterday, and even more today. We are trying to get ahead of some forecasted high temps and high winds. So far the winds haven't yet been bad, but the higher temps are catching us (low to mid 90's). This is just too hot for us "SnowBirds".
On a brighter note, Texas is on Central Daylight Time - same as home. We don't have to figure times before calling those who are still "snowbound". (I know it is melting, but it can't be all gone yet.)
