Travel Day 1

We pulled out of Retama shortly after 7:30am. Cloudy and a little cooler this morning with winds out of the north. Figures, we've had southerly winds for a month and today it picks to change. There sure are a lot more last minute things to do because of leaving the trailer parked. The biggest thing is making sure no food and especially crumbs are left. Sure don't want creepy crawlies moving in for the summer.

Just passed the Border Check point. Pepper saw their dogs and wanted to get out and play so bad. But these are not play puppies.

Around 10:30 we pulled on to US37. Traffic on 281 was good and there wasn't much construction. We stopped at the first Rest Area to give Pepper (& us) a potty break.

Major traffic jam after we got on I30 outside of Dallas. Course it was 5PM and I have a feeling it was just their normal traffic pattern.

Poor Pepper is beside herself on what's going on. But she did get to play for awhile last night with her favorite pal Foster. These two are so much alike in personality and behavor you would think they were from the same litter. Had to snap one last picture of them together.


The day ended after 605 miles in Mt Vernon and we are STILL in Texas. Till next time...
