We seem to be having difficulty getting back to the Rio Grande Valley. First, a window shattered on the Airstream keeping us in VA an extra weekend. We got acquainted with new friends who were great Samaritans and took good care of us during this time. THANK YOU!!!!
Then, as we got into Louisiana, a tire blew on the Airstream. No big surprise since these had been sitting through several West Virginia winters. Still.....more time gone. We were very fortunate in our stopping point and a local policeman led us to a repair place. THANK YOU!!!
About an hour and 15 minutes later, the spare was on the ground and off we went. Than, just after we got into Texas, I smelled something that was burning. There was a car between Jim and me, but when it moved over, it was clear that it was another Airstream tire! We limped to an exit and happen upon an rv repair spot, but he could not help with the tire. Soon we found our way to a campground. Tomorrow is another day. Hopefully we will get all new tires and head once more for the valley. The most wonderful part of this adventure--aside from our good fortune in stopping at the exactly right locations--is that both Jim and I took this all in stride without getting upset. How's that for good fortune????
