The Trials of Travel

OK, so this is how our trip went. We left Paso Robles and went to Bakersfield to see Sarah. We drove from Bakersfield to Banning, CA. We stayed there for 2 nights. Then we went to AZ. While there, we went to see the town of Tombstone. We did all of the touristy stuff. We went to Boot Hill and of course took lots of pictures. When we got back, David noticed one of the tires on the 5th wheel was totally bald, showing alot of cord. He found a tire shop that would come and change the tire. We stayed there for 2 days. The next day we drove thru New Mexico. When people say the world is too overcrowded, they obviously have never driven across this country. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, we blew another tire on the 5th wheel. We tried AAA.
They didn't know where we were and then we found out our 5th wheel was not covered. We did not know where we were either so David had to walk back along the road to find a mile marker. Along the road was thousands of huge grasshopper looking things. They were tan with coral colored bodies and blue in their wings. They were about 4 inches long. David had to walk on the road with them jumping all around him. There was a road sign in front of us advertising trinkets
so we tried information and she finally got 1 number in the whole town. The number he called was the trinket place. The only other business in this town (I use that word loosely) was a tire shop(good for us). The people at the trinket store did not like the people at the tire shop and would not give us their number. The only thing we could do was just hobble into the tire shop at about 2 miles an hour, we had 5 miles to go. The name of this town is Segar. There was one man there ( for sake of saving his pride, we'll calm him Bubba). Bubba is about 500 lbs of no nonsense. One word answers are all you'll get from him. He did show us where the other 2 tires that we haven't changed yet, were rotten. Of course Bubba wanted cash. We did not have enough cash so I walked to the trinket place and used the ATM. After spending $500 we were on our way. We made it that day to Van Horn, TX. We ended up staying there 2 days. We then drove on to San Antonio. We went to the Riverwalk and to the Alamo. Both of us really loved San Antonio. We stayed there for 3 days and then drove to the Gulf Coast. We are now at Magnolia Beach, TX.
