Delhart, TX

Hi To all, once more with more notes from the road:

After picking up our motorhome in Lawton, Ok, it has been quite adventure. To be honest today didn't exactly turn out as we expected.
We started off from Dumas, Tx with the best of intentions as we headed for NM and then to Mesa Verde in Co. We got thirty miles from our starting point and in Delhart, Tx when Chriss discover that a second rear tire on the motorcycle trailer had 2 nails in it and one was leaking air pretty quickly. It was Sunday afternoon and we found tire stores on our GPS but none were open. We talked to a man in his front yard who worked at one of the tire stores but it was closed and there was nothing he could do, he also recommended a campground which we saw but didn't feel it was safe to stay. We stopped at the local police station which also was the town jail and the woman we talked to was not very cooperative. She was the jail matron and really tough and didn't care to answer any questions. So a group of young people waiting to see an inmate suggested a place that turned out to be a local park and not an RV campground. In our travels to find it we came upon a large well drilling equipment garage with open doors and two young men working.
Chriss got out and went in to talk to them and came out with more directions to another campground and they also put more air in our tires so we could get there. So now we are hooked up in a very nice clean campground with WiFi, waiting for the tire store to open in the AM hoping that we have enough air in our tires to get there. The wife of the manager was very nice to us during check in.and oh yes, right after we checked in a train went by and she said it was just a 1/2 mile away but the whistle was loud and clear. So all in all we now have an all time record for distance traveled, 68 miles in two days. At this rate, please save our Christmas presents. Anyway we have better hope for tomorrow and will write again hopefully with good news.

Love, Mom (Carol) and Chriss
