May 1st~~2nd RV Woes :-(

Woke this morning ready to travel for a couple of days to head to Texas...however the coach would not start! After much frustration and prayer, Steven was able to jump start it and we re-routed our day to the nearest Camping World. We limped into Ft Worth and bit the bullet for 2 new coach batteries, ($300.00) OUCH! Takes a lot of power to move 30,000 pounds of vehicle down the road!

Our coach has taken a beating on this adventure. The flat tire we had earlier was the beginning of repairs in our future. The "March Winds" ripped the slide toppers (covers over the pop-outs) off, so they will have to be replaced. And now the batteries! Cost of doing business, I guess.

The scenery has now gone from vast prairie lands sprinkled with tumbleweeds and Indian reservations to more vast lands sprinkled with windmills and oil wells. I was never fully aware of how much uninhabited acreage there is "out West".
