A friend of mine asked if we had any car trouble on our trip down. The cars ran great though the trailer we were towing behind the Explorer was too heavy for the little V6 and it had to work hard to get it here. The bumpy roads and the weight in the trailer were too much for the axle, though, and one side bent. Thankfully it got us here. The latch also popped off the back door as we were driving. Praise God nothing fell out!! Made for an exciting view for Jo'ell as she was following me! We paid a wide variety of prices for gas, the lowest being about $2.70 and the highest $3.70. I stopped in one place out in the middle of nowhere in Arizona and was going to gas up until I saw the price was $4.69. I decided to try to make it to the next town! They had a sign taped to the front door saying if you didn't like their price to go somewhere else, so I obeyed.
It was a blessing to meet up with Alfredo and his friends in Laredo, Texas to drive down with in Mexico. The photo above was about 3 am when we stopped for some coffee. There were no Circle K's around but we found this little store. It did the trick and kept us going till 2 pm the next day!
