We also notice that our MPG was down quite a bit, so it appeared as though the wind was probably head-on. After an hour or so of this, however, the MPG started climbing. It seems we probably went through a front and the wind direction had completely changed, now coming from behind and helping us! 24 24 25 - We arrived at Van Horn with no incidents, checked in, drove into our drive-through site, hooked everything up, and took our customary walk. Since we were in the middle of town, there weren't many places to walk but we ended up walkinga few blocks down to the DollarGeneral Store (they're everywhere!) to get a few supplies.Returning to the trailer, we had supper, used the camp showers (they even had fluffy bath mats!) in preparation for 3 days of playingin dirt at Rockhound Park, watched the news (using cellular, because, once again, the park has "Great WiFi", but it stopped working, possibly due to the rather high winds of the evening), and went to bed.25 +[[image:IMG_5101.jpeg]] 26 26 27 +We arrived at Van Horn with no incidents, checked in, drove into our drive-through site, hooked everything up, and took our customary walk. The winds here are rather strong. It's a good thing they're mostly coming from the direction of the front of the trailer. If they were coming from the side, we would be bounced around a lot more than we are! Also, the site is very level, so we just left the trailer hitched to the car, which helps some. (Remember, we're missing one of the stabilization jacks and thus only have 3 feet!) 28 + 29 +Since we were in the middle of town, there weren't many places to walk but we ended up walking a few blocks down to the Dollar General Store (they're everywhere!) to get a few supplies.
