9/22/07 Every RV'ers Nightmare

Got on the road this morning with hopes of traveling just 200 miles, we traveled 270, don't ask.

We stopped for fuel today and saw this gentlemen getting gas for his lawnmower. Now most people bring the little red gas can, he brought the whole mower!


It was shortly after getting fuel that we made the wrong turn. And that's all I'll say about that.


About a 45 minutes down the road we realized we were going the wrong way and turned around. On the way back to the right road we came across every RV'ers nightmare.
Somehow they managed to get the rig unhooked from the truck. I can't imagine trying to do that knowing the propane tanks have to blow sometime.

Thankfully, the owners of the rig got away unharmed. We can only hope they weren't full timers and all their worldly possessions weren't in the rig. It was a total loss.

After a half hour waiting for this to clear we were on our way again. Shortly thereafter we were on the road we were supposed to be on. The scenery got much better!
I don't remember the name of the town we were going through when we saw this. We've seen this before in Missouri but this town added one more. Hot, Cold and Warm!


Pretty soon we were out in the open range again.

Today was a trying day. We didn't get as an early start as we hoped, we made a wrong turn which made us drive 70 miles more than we wanted to, we got held up by the unfortunate RV fire, it was warm, we're tired, hungry, and we both just wanted out of the truck.

Not every day is a day in paradise,,,,,but then, wouldn't that be boring?
