THU May 20

Driving south from Laredo through West Texas oil country and you can see lots of evidence of oil exploration and every now and again a convoy of drill trucks moving to a new field location; finished in one area and moving expensive equipment to another location; capitalism, got to love it.

This is also cantaloupes & watermelon country and let me tell you it is much more pleasant driving behind a truck of cantaloupes than it is driving behind a cattle truck.

Thought this was going to be an easy day of driving, only about 200 miles, but didn’t count on the wind, it really made for both hands tight on the steering wheel and short breaks very relaxing.

I have checked into a very nice RV resort and they gave me a super discount, www.winterhavenresort.com, I enjoyed cleaning up my car and spent down time at their swimming pool; that’s retirement
