The wind storm carried on through the whole night. The wind gusts were shaking the trailer and I was afraid it might tip over. My heart was racing and pounding and I couldn't sleep. At about 2:30am I put my ipod on, tried to ignore the noise and eventually fell asleep.
We have driven 1,406.6 mi. so far. Until yesterday we were averaging 9.8 mpg for the trip. For the round trip to Pheonix we averaged 21 mpg (not towing the trailer). Today there is such a strong tailwind that we are avering 15 mpg while towing the trailer! We are at 6,000 ft. elevation (just outside of Flagstaff) and climbing. There will be 30 mph winds pushing us all the way to Albuquerque. It is going to be a very stressful drive trying to keep the trailer on the road.
We are almost the the meteor crater. Pictures to come...
