Still in Texas!

1-06-06

Today was another day of driving. We left around 8:30 and have set up camp just outside of Ft. Stockton, Texas. It is now 3:30. We are actually at a KOA. It is nice and sunny here. It was hot setting up. We have full hookups here so I may get to try out the washer/dryer. The campground is not very full. There are some other cheap campgrounds in town. We tried a couple of them, but they were quite crude and one was unattended. Hard to make the turns, etc., so we came back to the KOA. It is right off the interstate, so we have easy access for in the morning.

There is a restaurant here, so we may try it. They are supposed to have good barbecue. Everything is going fine. We are still learning how to run this rig. We keep the manuals handy and have pulled them out to see what to do next. Now we are going to have to study how to work the radio. Pretty fancy radio, with satellite radio built in, but we haven’t figured out how to use the regular radio yet.

Sorry to report that we took a stone to the windshield sometime earlier. 1825 miles on the rig and we will have to replace it. Darn. We heard it, but it didn’t sound bad and we didn’t see it hit. It hit way up high just below the trim at the top. Terry said as long as it doesn’t go down or to the side, we are going to leave it. We will make our way back to Red Bay in the spring and get it fixed there. Since this is a 2006, one would have to be shipped. I’m sure no one would have them in stock. We will just keep an eye on it. If it starts to crack, we will call ahead to a Tiffin dealer and have one ordered and get it fixed. The rig is a dream to drive. We are both enjoying the quiet, comfortable ride we are getting.

Till next time. . .
