At the end of this day, We are now at 2815 miles, which is just over 87% of the way, we have been in 12 states, cause Texas is one big state...
And now for the surprise. We awoke in Ozona, with a plan for about a 250 mile drive to Carlsbad but our plans chaged when Mrsfabp got a message from the people we were going to visit there. They were sick and wanted to postpone. Mrsfabp and I laid back in bed to consider our options - go to Carlsbad anyway, even though it was out of the way, stay in Ozona and do laundry and get organized or make a un for the border of New Mexico. I am happy to report we decided to make the run. Only 400 miles!
We went to a local place for a breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros and got on the road. About 5 miles out of town we realized that Mrsfabp did not have her cell phone so it was back to the motel and 10 more miles added to the trip.
We droves treacly for about 3 hours, stopped for lunch and got back on the road. We hit El Paso at rush hour, a gentile reminder of why I hate traffic so, and pulled into Las Cruces at about 7 pm. Tired and worn, a big king bed never felt so good! We made it!!!
On arrival in Las Cruces we had driven 3225 miles which is 100% of the total and had been in 13 different states... In order: MA, NY, NJ, DL, VA, NC, SC, FL, AL, GA, MS, TX and NM... I case you wanted to know
Hope you enjoyed reading all about our adventures. Mrsfabp, Kanye and I say a great big hi y'all to friends and family!
