It was an easy getting ready to go morning. All we had to do was bring in the slides, raise the rear jacks, hook-up to the truck, do a safety check and we were ready to go. We were told that we all needed to be off the park grounds by 10 a.m. Good luck at that. We stood outside saying goodbye to our neighbors as we were all preparing to head out. While we were talking to Don and Bev, a peregrine falcon flew a circle above us. That was neat. It was also an interesting sight seeing all of the rigs leaving when we did heading out in all directions.
We were on the road a little after 9 a.m. The trip was rather uneventful until we got close to Tucumcari. There had been a fair amount of road construction and in one section, we saw a very sobering sight. There was a truck and fifth wheel that apparently had rolled and each vehicle was a mess with bits and pieces of the fifth wheel strewn about. We heard from a Rally attendee who overnighted in the same RV park as we did that friends who drove past the accident around 5 a.m. said that the driver and the passenger both had to be cut out of the truck. The truck was indistinguishable as to the brand. We pray that both of them are going to be ok. It was a terrible sight.
With 50 amps, I took advantage to do a week's worth of laundry. John socialized with our neighbors and found out that all of us had a Sacramento connection. One couple was a new full-timer from Galt, one woman was a 1961 graduate of El Camino High School, and then us. It was nice to spend the evening with all the conveniences.
