So…. All of that bad weather and high wind we were trying to avoid by leaving home a day later?  Don’t look now, but it’s back!  We may be seeing gusts up to 30 mph from the west as we head into Las Cruses.

it’s really beginning to look as though all of Texas along the eclipse line will be in heavy cloud cover, so we’re honking of heading a little farther north.  Instead of Deming, we’re heading to Alamogordo, NM, and later continuing toward Oklahoma City and up toward Illinois.  We’ll keep an eye on the weather and see if we can go back to our original plans, but it doesn’t look good.
