I'll bet you were thinking we're still in Laredo, TX, right ? Nope. We made it on time to the CN and got unloaded pretty quickly. We headed over to the OC there. Somewhere along the way I had lost a mud flap on the truck so I wanted it fixed. Teresa went in to start laundry while I went to the shop. I noticed the thermometer INSIDE the shop indicated 100 degrees. They replaced the flap and replaced 1 tire pretty quickly. We showered and ate a Hormel Roast Pork and vegetables dinner. Very good.
While at the shop our next w/a came in... pick up a trailer there at the OC and drop in Atlanta, GA Monday at 1100.
Since it was so hot we bobtailed up to the Pilot with IdleAire and ran their A/C for a couple of hours till it cooled down outside, which it seems to do pretty quickly. Must be the desert air.
Friday night we saw a border patrol capturing a "runner" coming over the fence along I35. Saturday we saw a hawk swoop down and grab what looked like a 6 foot long snake. Since we were in rattlesnake country we're assuming it was one.
Saturday we bobtailed back and picked up the trailer load of appliances and headed out. The route was the reverse of our route down to Laredo. Made it Lake Charles, LA.
Sunday we had to make tracks as we planned to spend some time on the beach in Biloxi/Gulfport, MS, very nice, not too hot yet. Got some pictures, but I forgot the camera this morning. I'll catch up. We covered 600 miles. Teresa got to watch "Amazing Race." Next week is the finals.
We didn't get any rain, little mist here and there. Apparently there had been some big storms ahead of us. When we got to LaGrange, GA we were planning on eating and showering but all the power was out. Cereal for dinner and no shower !!!
We'll make it to Atlanta by 1000 this morning. After dropping we'll only have 6 driving ours left for the day so. Not sure how that will effect our next w/a.
10 days left to TAH. Turns out Joe and Beth will be in Branson that week so we won't see them, hope they'll still let us stay at their place.
