#58-2. Only traveled several miles from the fuel station back to the campground in Safford, AZ before hooking up the trailer the next morning when we hooked up and left for Las Cruces, NM. Got good MPG with tail winds and on level ground but had head winds from Deming, NM on to Las Cruces. The Continental Divide at 4,580 ft is just 20 miles east of Lordsburg, NM. Towing Apex with the F-150 4x4 has not been base lined with the truck naked. I will have to wait until November 15th when I take the Aerolid off the truck t baseline it.
