I wanted to add the last photograph I took in New Mexico {Deming, New Mexico}. I really like water towers. I wasn't aware of how much I enjoy looking at water towers! You'll probably see lots more throughout this trip! Our day started like any normal sunny day in New Mexico. Crossed over into Texas and while Texas is very beautiful, crossing that desert is a bit much for some people. It's flat desert for miles and miles. AND MILES! You can't even see mountains behind or a flower here and there. Or a city for that matter. NOTHING! On the plus side, if you are the passenger, it's a great time to take a nap...you won't miss anything.
So...we're in Texas, everything's going great...9 miles until Pecos, Texas and all of a sudden the camper shook a bit abnormally. Nathan looks out his side mirror and sees parts of a tire flying behind us. We pulled over and check our tires...they were all still there but one had lost the tread. Hazzards on, going 55 miles per hour on an 80 mph interstate hoping the tire doesn't pop! We make it to Pecos, Texas {which looks a bit deserted}, call 411 for a trusty Wal-Mart and find out there is one there! GREAT! Get to Wal-Mart and it is the smallest one we've ever seen and has NO Tire/Lube Center! It was so freakin' hot there! Where the sun feels like it's burning your skin off! By this time it is 4PM in a small town and you know everything closes early in small towns. Well...we see this tire place and a man working in the back. We pull over, he tells us they close at 12PM but he can fix it for a little extra. Called his friend to come down to the shop and 30 minutes we were out of there with 4 new tires and a new spare. Bless their hearts! We were so thankful they got us back on the road so quickly! Thank You two VERY much!!
Finally made it to our resting point of Abilene, Texas! Thank GOD!
Not too many photographs...three quarters of the trip was the flat desert!
XX,
