On The Road Again

We have put almost 500 miles behind us since we departed on Thursday. We are overnighting in Pecos, TX and will drive to las Cruces, NM tomorrow. We spent last night just eats of Abilene, Tx. We will spend two nights in Las Cruces to rest a bit and to do a little Wal-Mart shopping. Oh yeah, we might make it to Lorenzo's for dinner as well. From Las Cruces we will stop for over nighters in Tucson, Az and Kingman, AZ before pulling into Las Vegas on Wednesday of next week. Looking forward to seeing my mom and sister, and her family, while in Las Vegas, as well as some friends.

The coach is running well and the only difficulty I have had has been with my tire pressure. I had the coach in for service before we left and gave the guy directions to put 92 pounds of air in each tire. When I told him that he was working on the driver front tire. The coach seemed to be pulling a bit yesterday and today so when we got settled today and the tires had time to cool I checked the pressure and discovered that the front driver side did indeed have 92 pound of pressure but the other five tires all had 110 pounds of pressure and thus the pulling while driving. I will complain to the service department at Freightliner but I am not sure how much good that will do. Anyhow, we are off for New Mexico tomorrow with a possible stop at Camping World. Be safe.
