Planning the Escape

It is time for the pickup truck to hook to the Earth Module and head North.  Kadizzle and The Commander are at odds on the assault on North Dakota.  Kadizzle wants to get going and bite off what distance we can as weather permits. The Commander would be content to stay longer right where we are.  If we can make it to Chochiti Lake in New Mexico that would be a victory.  As usual the weather is trying to pin us down.  Weather in Denver is terrible.  We will stop in Denver to see The Snoocher Bearn, Ticklepinch, and Fran.  Getting to Denver will not be easy unless the weather clears.  One critical stop is in Winslow Arizona for the very best breakfast burrito in the world at La Pasada.  We have made this run North for so many years we have it down pretty well.  One thing to always be careful with is the mountain passes.  Going over the rockies in the winter pulling a trailer is suicide.  The best pass is the Raton Pass.  It is not that high and can usually be done without encountering snow.  After turning upside down in our camper and truck a few years back on the way home we approach this process more carefully now.
