We are not in the desert southwest anymore. Here’s some proofs:
Bugs on the windshield. Lots of bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. We have to wash the windshield daily to be able to see clearly. If we don’t do that and it starts to rain we will have a smeary mess. Which will simply get worse as soon as we turn on the windshield wipers.
Windsocks on bridges. The winds follow the rivers so the government put wind socks on the bridges to warn those of us driving high profile vehicles to be ready to handle the cross winds as we cross the bridges. Maybe they got tired of pulling vehicles out of their rivers?
Real trees. Not just stumpy little things but real trees. The ones that loose their leaves in the winter and grow them back in the spring. The ones that scratch your RV if you get too close.
Green grass. Not rocks. Not yellow grass. Green. Emerald green. Imagine that.
Storm shelters. In the RV parks! Check this out. http://masoncity.net/pView.aspx?id=1242&catid=58. That’s where we are headed today. So are the storms.
The exception that could make you wonder:
89 degrees in Lincoln, Nebraska, during our lunch stop yesterday, May 9th. It’s only May and we are running our house air conditioning as we go down the road! Oh well, at least the generator is getting some much needed exercise. That helps keep it healthy, you know.
TTYL,

You guys stay safe and head for the shelter at the first sign of danger. We’re still in the desert – high desert so there are a few trees but no grass yet. And I am not looking forward to the bugs. I hate bugs. I really hate bugs. And MT is still cold and dreary. Good thing we’re not in a real big hurry to get there. Watch out for those tree limbs.
Windsocks…great idea! Stay safe.
Another sign of proof is floods! I’ll be trying to get across the Mississippi tomorrow before the flood hits Baton Rouge!
