The inn was booked

We left early to beat the wind and we did for the first 130 miles. But all good things come to an end. We had just left our first fuel stop when I noticed the rig was lagging back somewhat. Then I noticed the trees along the highway bowing to me as I passed. Well I took that for what it was...the wind was hitting me head on and my diesel meter started to tell the tell.
I went from a favorable 11.5 mpg to 8.8 mpg. Gee we just did not leave early enough. It was that way until we turned north and then I started to get some better mileage. Not sure what this little trip cost me in the way of fuel but that will be something I can write about later. 
We had planned on staying at our mid-stop a couple of days so as to miss the snow in Colorado. Well as things would have it they were booked for the next week of so. That left us with only one option. We could either find another place to stay or head on in to Colorado. We opted for the later and pushed on north. We found a place to top off the rigs and that got us enough to make it all the way without any other stops.
Arriving at our destination we ran head long into a real nice snow storm. At times we only had about 100 yards visibility. The snow was real dry and was not sticking at all. The surrounding mountains at higher elevations, however were starting to accumulate additional snow. I say additional because they were already covered before this round on snow hit.
Kris was loving it but I on the other hand was a little disturbed with the fact that I had to set up in the storm. I hate having to unload and set up when it is raining or snowing. Nothing is clean when you get through and you have to redo half of it when a dry day comes around.
We did get set up. Loaded the fresh water tank so we would have water when the temps dropped below freezing. Yes they were predicting below freezing temps for the night and for tomorrow night as well. Well I did want to see some snow on the mountains this year and I got may wish. Did not really want snow on my patio but I got that as a bonus.
The RV park had a get together and Sherri made some brownies. There were all kinds of dishes there and coffee to boot. I think it will  be a good year here in Colorado. I will be fishing too...
