3/11, 2009 Wednesday Dumas,TX to Hereford,TX $21.00 Gas

Left Dumas, Tx at 12:20
Had a bad night with leg cramps
Called Alice and gave her update on Robbie Crespin
Sunny but chilly
Headed for Hereford, Tx
Still have 3/4 tank of propane since filling in Sioux City on 3/2
County roads in Texas are called farm roads and each has a number
Saw an old farm windmill standing among wind turbines "the old with the new"
Don't Mess with Texas signs particularly about littering
Texans think that everything in their state is the biggest and best but they are very friendly
Going 40mph on county road and Al says, "if we go any slower, we might as well get out and push"
Another time, he said, "This is a moving baby" when motorhome holds its speed on cruise control while going uphill without
bogging down. That is the turbo part which allows more air for power or something like that.
Another time, he said, "You got the right rig for what you want to do in it"
Have seen an armadillo and wild boar and a fawn
Cloudy days are more comfortable to travel on the eyes but sunny days are prettier
Bought gas for $1.999
166.2 miles 10.63 gal 13.8 mpg Money spent today $21.00
Have had hills, a load on motorhome and warmed engine each time before starting
Arrived in Hereford, Tx at 3:40
Staying at aquatic center park, a city park
Can stay for 36 hours with elec and water for free.
Very pretty park with a pond
I was walking Cisco and watching him play and looking at pond and slipped and fell in the mud.
Now my other leg has a pulled muscle and I have allot of muddy clothes.
Suppose to snow tonite 1-2 inches but get warm right away
