Hi Everyone
Well we finally got going around 9:30 am Fri. morn our goal was to reach Memphis by evening and we made it. We ended up staying at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant, we got an early start because we wanted to be out of their lot before it got busy with the morning rush. We wanted to get to El Paso on the 2nd day, but Texas is certainly as advertised BIG. We where just about to get to Texas when we had a right front tire blow out while I was running 75mph on cruise control. Very exciting, Dorothy was scared but we kept it under control. Road service and $1200.. for two new front tires and we reach the middle of Texas ( Dallas, Fort Worth ) we stayed at a wal-mart for the night. It had to be bad Carma because the tire blew out in Hope Ar. Bill Clinton's home town. We stayed the next night in El Paso, that is 1 big spread out city. We got started early and had around 500 miles to go, we got into Canyon Vista RV Resort around 4:00pm and that is where we will be for 1 month, nice place with a great view of the Superstition Mountains. I will try to put on some pictures. The trains out here have 6 engines in front and 2 in the back and are 2 - 3 miles long. See ya all soon. Wayne & Dorothy
