On the road again

We're back in the RV and headed toward northern New Mexico.  Our first day's drive was all US highway 54 and tomorrow will be another day of the same.  We have traveled this route on our way westward a couple of times in the past and it is a good easy drive, mostly good two lane instead of four lane divided like the interstates.

There was one time this morning that we just barely avoided a catastrophe.  Not far in front of us there was a skunk ambling across the road from left to right.  I don't think they can run but just kind of wobble.  I had to slow down and since there wasn't any oncoming traffic I was able to swerve into that lane and just barely saw the white stripe clear our truck tires and had to hope that it cleared the trailer tires.  When we got out for lunch we sniffed around our trailer tires and no lingering odor so that is a good thing.

Our campground for tonight is just east of Wichita near El Dorado, KS.
