We finally made it. On the way to Ft. Stockton, about 10 miles south of El Paso, a semi had a blow out, which just destroyed the fiberglass on that side of his rig. Unfortunately, hubby was behind him, and ran over some of it. Some how, it cracked the starter cellanoid, so when we stopped 20 miles later to check on everything, it wouldn't start. GOOD SAM ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE to the rescue! They are awesome! They sent out two tow trucks, one for the truck, and one for the 5th wheel. They towed us to a camp ground in El Paso, (38 miles that we had already covered, but who's complaining?), and then came back the next morning and towed the truck to the repair shop.
So, what was supposed to be a 7 hour trip, ended up being two days, but that's ok. We are finally here................
This is our new home for a while..........

I am going to put up a fence in the middle of the yard, measured it yesterday and need 85ft, so that the puppies can hang out without being leashed, and of course to keep Emma from running into the cactus. I think we are going to like it here. We have met many of the current workampers, and they are all very nice, and say lots of wonderful things about working here. So Yay!!!! We don't need no stinking South Dakota!
