I was woken early this morning by this loud repetitive sound coming in the window. It took a while for me to realize that it was a bird that was either on our trailer or the one next to us who was loudly vocalizing. As it was pitch black outside, I also came to the conclusion it was an owl but what type? While I was listening to the loud mouth outside, I could also hear off in the distance a Great Horned Owl doing its call. After getting up, I tried to find out who my mystery owl was but couldn't narrow it down.
We were on the road at 8:30 a.m. as we knew we would be losing an hour going into New Mexico as Arizona does not do Daylight Savings Time. The afternoon winds were also a consideration as everyone knows the wind almost always blows in New Mexico.
As we headed towards Benson, we decided to take this road that Trailer Life recommended that would shave some miles off as we headed for I-10. The first few miles were fine but then it turned to gravel for the next 8 miles. The first couple of miles were fine but then it turned real washboard rough and all I could think of was how the things in our cabinets were being shook up. Thankfully, we got back on pavement. The rest of the trip was uneventful. We pulled in to Silver City around 1:30 p.m. and boy, was the wind blowing. Gusts up to 35 mph.
A storm is brewing here in New Mexico and there are severe wind advisories for tomorrow with the possibility of thunder and snow. Yikes! The snow is not suppose to accumulate here. Humm, it might be a good day to stay in and get caught up on laundry.

We got settled in and went up to the office to settle up. We are spending the week at Manzano's RV Park. This is a small RV park with just 18 sites. We have a nice pull-through site that has a nice amount of privacy. We've already been visited by Gambel's Quail and White-Wing Doves. The bird feeders are out so birds tell your friends. Amazingly, when I checked our kitchen cabinets nothing fell out or was damaged. That was a pleasant surprise and a benefit of our good suspension system. John did have a surprise when he opened the bathroom cabinet as a few items fell out into the sink.
