Comfortable – COLD – HOT!!

3/5/2019 Elevation 2724

We bailed south for a slightly warmer forecast but still going to get BELOW FREEZING……Mid 20’s…….UGH!!!  I’m over this cold weather and don’t understand why I’m getting no sympathy when, we’re having a cold spell, from people who are below zero??? I just don’t understand!!!

The weather, before the cold front, was very comfortable in Jal NM, but we decided it would be better if we move about 100 miles further south to Fort Stockton. One good thing, we were expecting a good deal of wind with the cold front, thankfully that never materialized.

We spent the 3 cold nights in Fort Stockton, it’s an expressway town, big enough to have a Wally World which I avoided like the plague!!!!  It is like all the other towns with in a couple of hundred miles is currently a boom town with oil workers everywhere.

Pulled pork

If I had been going a little faster, I was only going 35-40 or Mary was not quite as observant as she is, we may have had some pulled pork………..we would have been pulling pork off of the grill:) These guys were in no hurry and didn’t have a care in the world.

We were on our way to our next spot, which we arrived to safe and sound.

We’re here for 2 nights, Monahans Sandhills State Park TX, and I’m afraid it might get kinda warm, after the cold front the temps are rising swiftly, it may get 80 or above here tomorrow.

CARDIO workout

Anyone wanting a good cardio workout, go find some sand dunes, you don’t need to walk very far to get you’r breathing and heart rate up! We didn’t walk very far I’m guessing 1/2 mile at best………. I won’t have any energy for the rest of the day………..Nap time:)

It didn’t get as warm as we expected, it only reached 78 today but with mostly cloudy it was pretty comfortable today. Had it been sunny it would have been uncomfortably warm. It was very different going to bet last night it was actually on the warm side, something we are not used to this winter.

On 3/4 we needed to run the heater all night, last night we almost opened the windows when we went to bed, what a difference a day makes.

This state park CG is also very popular, starting Friday the CG is full with spring breakers, and there are 2 school bus loads of kids here today.

I’m not sure where we’re going from here, with spring break it sounds like all the good places are apparently going to be full.
