I was down that way in January thinking a gulf coast tour was in order. But I had sailed into Glaveston in Jan 2006 and it was 29* and snowing so I knew it might not be sunny and warm. When they turned me around at the Cameron Ferry (this rig is too big - last one was ok) I decided to head north, but cold was coming south so I headed back west across southern TX, NM and AZ. Had some high winds (sustained 50+ mph) and low temps but nothing too severe. Ended up on the west shore of the Salton Sea in the 70’s and all was well. Live and learn. I was there in December - could have just stayed....
