Well, of course, I am back from my trip! We cut it a bit short, as it was raining and cold every night in the mountains.
I drove about 12 hours to Dallas, TX, to my friend Kristal’s house. The drive was nice, no serious problems. The roads in TX are a bit of a mess. The interstate highways have no fencing in between the roadside and the access roads!
That means sneaky-sneaky cops!
Let me illustrate…..
================= Interstate===============me, not speeding========
——–side of the road, NO FENCING!————
==============frontage/access road======== cop clocking traffic==========
That is just not fair! Really!
I didn’t get pulled over once on the trip… Kristal, though…. Sorry doll! My out of state tags did you in!
Any who…..
So, we left Dallas and drove up to Amirillo, TX. From there we went up through New Mexico to get to the mountains of southern Colorado.
We stayed a few nights in the Rockies, but had to give up the ghost… The ladies in tents got rained out, rained on, and cold to the bones in their tents. I camped under my truck camper shell, so I stayed dry, and mostly warm.
We were all ready to bail, though. It was a great time, and the mountains were beautiful, but it was just to bad a weather to stay..
We packed up, ( I say we, it was all Kristal packing up my stuff, thanks sweets!) and drove back to New Mexico and camped for the night in a Motel 6.
We all played some euchre, (yay! Kristal finally got to win a round! Sorry, Jenea… You will learn, Darlin’) and then took off the next morning for TX.
Kristal was able to get a flight to Utah, and I am glad she did. I took off for home, as I ain’t getting on a plane right now with prosthetic legs!
I didn’t get to meet Brian and Nancy, but I already think a lot of them for hooking Kristal up and getting her to the Best Friends shelter!
I did get to meet Meghan and Becca, and ladies, you are top notch! I am very glad to call you friends!
I know this is not near enough of an update, and I didn’t even think about getting out the camera, but I am wore out from my day today! So, sorry 🙂 I will write a longer blog for ya later!
