Big bend counrty


270 miles to Fort Stockton. Just an over-niter on our way to Carlsbad Caverns in  -well, Carlsbad, NM. Did I mentioned that everything is bigger in Texas?
In front of the rig was a "little" cat - Jaguar XK8
Well, here you go. That was the biggest rig I've ever seen that got dragged behind. I've seen a lot of cars dragged behind a RV, but nothing like that rig. And there were plenty of them at that particular RV-Park.


30 miles before our next base ( I really have to refer to them as RV-Parks other than campgrounds), we had another blow-out. I put the warning triangle on the break-down-lane, so hubby would be safe. All the truckers moved over to the other lane, but one RV. Man, was he blowing by us. Such an *&^%%. Half an hour later we were back on our route. Well done, hubby.

Another piece missing from the fender and a dent in the aluminum

Tomorrow will have to check out tire places to get another spare tire, and another rim with a tire, just to be sure. At the RV-Park a guy came over to tell us all about a 60 mile Road- Race- Rally, starting on Saturday, nearby. Apparently there are only 3 rallies in the US like that. A highway (not sure which one) will be closed for 60 miles. On guy came all the way from Kansas to participate in the rally.

What a nice toy!

Bratwurst and salad for supper accompanied with red wine, and strawberries for dessert. Now we call it a night..til then..see 'ya....
