We set out on our journey from the Dallas area to the desert near Quartzsite, AZ, on Friday evening after traffic thinned out. It was 7:45pm when the bus hit the freeway heading west.
Only one heavy traffic area was encountered on IH-820 where Haltom City and Ft Worth come together. We moved through the area in about 10 minutes and were soon on our way west. Just around 10pm, we pulled into an IH-20 rest area (mm 390) and stopped for the night.
Everything worked on the RV except for one pesky alarm on the Inverter that sounded when we were in a place where stopping was impossible. Once we got into the rest area, a quick check showed it had shut down but without any alarms. I turned it back on and it ran flawlessly through the night. 110VAC is important to us as the coach is all-electric and our Amana refrigerator is happier when the power in on.
Breakfast was a set of Owens breakfast Tacos and we started out again around 10am Saturday morning.
The cache in the rest area had been claimed earlier so we decided not to seek any caches until we were in a new area for us. That will be around Pecos, TX, or another 8 hours of driving.
