Scary Drive back to Bakersfield

We left Primm Nevada at 6:30am this morning. After the long hill climb we hit a sand storm, and I mean a sand storm. Haven't checked out the paint on the coach yet, because it is raining here in Bakersfield, will check it out later. This wind was throwing us everywhere, then when we hit the junction at highway 14 it must have been blowing 80mph. We pulled over for a potty break but the wind grabbed our awning from our slide and pulled it out. This was the awning we just had fixed in St. George. A big rig had pulled off the freeway with us and he managed to pull to where the wind was coming at him. We followed and managed to pull the slide out a little bit and when we pulled it back it in the awning rolled back up to the rig. When the wind slowed down a little bit we pulled along side of the big rig and checked to see if they were OK, they said yes, that were driving with an empty load and the wind had managed to lift up the back of the rig, scary. The rest of the drive was rain and not as strong wind and we managed to make it back to the RV Park. I called Kim and said we needed to rest and would be over in a few hours, hell of a day.
