Made It!

Pulled into our camp spot with no problems. We set up for a quick departure tomorrow. (Wake up at 5:30am again). Its nice and quiet here and all we want to do is put the day behind us and get some shut eye. Jodie whipped up her specialty for dinner- left over turkey meatloaf, green beans, and Mac&Cheese! A real cowboy campin' meal after a long day on the trail!

Sunset over Texas

We've been at it since 5:30am and left Louisiana at 7:30am. Its now 8:22PM and we are in Johnson City, Texas. We had to take a detour because of a hazmat oil tanker spill on I-10. The detour closed the highway for three days and took us way out of our planned route. Johnson City is the home town of President Lyndon Johnson. We liked the area of Lake Houston and the Texas hill country is very beautiful. We should be pulling into our camp in 10 minutes or so.
All I want is a shower, dinner, a little something to ease my pain and a good nights rest. At least we should only be about 1 hour behind our adjusted schedule.

...Or So We Thought

Well we were back in the saddle again but only for a little while. Major accident with a naphtha spill on a freeway bridge ahead. Traffic backed up for ten miles. Accident happened at 4AM.

So here we are trying to detour with all 6,000 others at the same time.
